1 Columbia Street, Barnsley, S70 4LE

1 Columbia Street is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 4LE). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 356.7% above the 1998 sale of £31,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£37/sq ft) was about 68.4% below the postcode norm.
