Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £294,622. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Kidlington are now selling for between £3,970 and £5,160 per square metre (£368 and £479 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 56 m², this implies a valuation between £222,000 and £289,000. Treat this as context only.
