Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £94,028. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in Birkenhead are now selling for between £1,280 and £1,720 per square metre (£118 and £159 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 60 m², this implies a valuation between £77,000 and £103,000. Treat this as context only.
