Why valuer's use the cost per square foot

The cost per square foot is an excellent way to compare property valuations when the properties aren't the same size.

If a property in the same road is in similar condition (and has a similar sized garden), we'd expect it to sell for a similar amount per square foot.

So the cost per square foot allows us to use the price from one property to value another, even when the properties aren't the same size.

What causes the cost per square foot to be low?

When a property is in a poor state of repair, it is likely to sell more cheaply and therefore the cost per square foot is likely to be low.

If a property has been recently renovated, it will cost more per square foot than it would have done if the work hadn't been undertaken.

* We don't rank property costs in Scotland as their property prices are not held by HM Land Registry.

How is this calculated?

Transactions are only included where the property has been recorded with HM Land Registry and we know the total internal floor area of the property (so we can calculate the cost per square foot).

We rank each area in the UK, with the most expensive area being ranked 1 (so a rank of 5 would mean that it is the 5th most expensive area in all of England, Wales and Nothern Ireland). We exclude an area from being ranked if it doesn't have sufficient data available (i.e. if there are very few sales in the area).

** This data is based on 148 property transactions recorded with HM Land Registry over the previous 12 months in this area and matched against the total internal floor area for each specific property.
