Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £425,750. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Colchester are now selling for between £3,380 and £4,330 per square metre (£314 and £402 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 116 m², this implies a valuation between £392,000 and £502,000. Treat this as context only.
