$175000.00$ GBP

So we must begin with a rule that is commonly used to work this out.

$16%=28000$ so we can also say $100%=x$

Then from here the rule says that you do $(100xx28000)/16$

So if we do that we get a result of $175000$

That is the price of the home.

$x=175000.00$ GBP

Hope this helped you out :)
