How the estimate is made
The estimate for Unit 2 is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 1AR. 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 Unit 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Unit 2 is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2022 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 is 31.7% below the 2026 sale of £180,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 127.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. A recent sale: £180,000 in February 2026. At 58 m² it's 28.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 11 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs).

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 Unit 2 is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 1AR. 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 Unit 2. 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 Unit 2 was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 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 Unit 2. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S71 1AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Unit 2 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.
