  • At a sale price of £6.9M, we expect this property to be in a significantly worse condition than the neighbouring properties in the road.
  • This property has a lower cost per square foot than other properties in the road, which is why we think it is more likely to be in worse condition.

    However, a lower CPSF can also be caused by a low quality extension (or conservatory), a smaller garden, a lack of parking or if the property was previously sold through a partial ownership scheme etc.

  • At a valuation of £6.9M this property has a cost per square foot of £1,556 - this is substantially less than the average for the area (which is currently £2,490).

  • If we valued this property using the average cost per square foot (CPSF) - it would be worth £11.04M. For it to sell for this amount, we would expect it to be in a similar state decoratively to the average property here and also have a similar sized plot of land.
  • We use survey data provided by RICS qualified surveyors to obtain the property's size. This is calculated in a slightly different way to how an estate agent will measure a property as it only includes habitable space.
  • To calculate the price per square foot, you divide the property's sale price by its total square footage.
