About 37 Victoria Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
37 Victoria Road is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 28 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (28–262 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2020 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 sits 216% above the 1995 sale of £59,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 89.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (52 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
