Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £250,000. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Masham are now selling for between £2,740 and £3,880 per square metre (£254 and £360 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 49 m², this implies a valuation between £134,000 and £190,000. Treat this as context only.
