Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £267,655. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Ruthin are now selling for between £2,140 and £2,920 per square metre (£198 and £271 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 68 m², this implies a valuation between £146,000 and £199,000. Treat this as context only.
