Overview

About 25 Hopwood Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

25 Hopwood Street is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 44.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 25 Hopwood Street is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 2BS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 25 Hopwood Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 25 Hopwood Street was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 25 Hopwood Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S70 2BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
25 Hopwood Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
