About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is an end-of-terrace house in Birdwell, Barnsley, Barnsley (S70 5UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
