About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1TS). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. At 39 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–39 m².
Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 sits 104% above the 2008 sale of £50,000. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
