About 21 Market Close
21 Market Close is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
