About 12 Charles Street
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 (January 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. 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. At 97 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 24 EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 49.5% above the 2007 sale price.
