Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £203,144. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Sowerby are now selling for between £2,560 and £3,300 per square metre (£237 and £306 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 86 m², this implies a valuation between £220,000 and £284,000. Treat this as context only.
