About 8 Jacobs Close
8 Jacobs Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sheffield (S5 6EA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 9th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, 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 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 22.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 27.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
