Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £350,000. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Ongar are now selling for between £4,190 and £5,540 per square metre (£389 and £514 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 94 m², this implies a valuation between £394,000 and £521,000. Treat this as context only.
