About 4 George Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 George Square is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2018. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 4 George Square. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
