Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £400,000. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Balham are now selling for between £8,170 and £10,590 per square metre (£759 and £983 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 44 m², this implies a valuation between £359,000 and £466,000. Treat this as context only.
