About 8 Alderson Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Alderson Drive is a semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 1UU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £134,000 sits 86.1% above the 2007 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Alderson Drive is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 1UU. 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 8 Alderson Drive. 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 8 Alderson Drive was lodged in April 2023 at band C and is valid until April 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Alderson Drive. 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.

- Council tax band
- 8 Alderson Drive 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.
