Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £119,286. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Southampton are now selling for between £2,650 and £3,520 per square metre (£246 and £327 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 38 m², this implies a valuation between £101,000 and £134,000. Treat this as context only.
