12 Charles Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1RB). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a basement.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 61.1% above the 2007 sale of £95,000. At 97 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 24 EPCs).
