Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £231,546. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Swindon are now selling for between £2,160 and £2,720 per square metre (£200 and £252 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 80 m², this implies a valuation between £173,000 and £218,000. Treat this as context only.
