Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £600,000. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in St Albans are now selling for between £5,780 and £7,630 per square metre (£536 and £708 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 78 m², this implies a valuation between £451,000 and £595,000. Treat this as context only.
