Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £255,279. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Ipswich are now selling for between £2,750 and £3,640 per square metre (£255 and £338 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 83 m², this implies a valuation between £228,000 and £302,000. Treat this as context only.
