About 17 Barnard Avenue
17 Barnard Avenue is a semi-detached house in Bishop Auckland (DL14 6AG). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a C (score 71).

Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 44% below the 2008 sale of £350,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 413% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).
