About Flat 1
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom detached house in Barnsley (S70 2LT). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 66 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 58–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 62). The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. 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 £151,000 sits 235.6% above the 1996 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
