About 1 Castle Street
1 Castle Street is an end-of-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1NS). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 48.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
