How the estimate is made

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.

About 1 Bruce Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bruce Avenue is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 4DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 403.7% above the 2002 sale of £27,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 66.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2006.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Bruce Avenue is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 4DZ. 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 1 Bruce Avenue. 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 1 Bruce Avenue was lodged in March 2014 at band D and expired in March 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Bruce Avenue. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S70 4DZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bruce Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
