Overview

About 16 Osprey Avenue

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

16 Osprey Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Birdwell, Barnsley, Barnsley (S70 5SL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 is 37.5% above the 2015 sale price.

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 16 Osprey Avenue is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 5SL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 16 Osprey 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 16 Osprey Avenue was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Osprey 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S70 5SL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Osprey Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
