About 4 Ball Road
4 Ball Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S6 4LY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in January 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 sits 684% above the 1999 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 77.9% below the postcode norm. At 85 m² it's 21.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 19 EPCs). One planning record on file: an annexe refused in 2008.
