Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £245,000. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Whitehaven are now selling for between £1,680 and £2,470 per square metre (£156 and £229 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 76 m², this implies a valuation between £128,000 and £188,000. Treat this as context only.
