Overview

About 15 Bishops Way

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

15 Bishops Way is a detached house in Barnsley (S71 2HW). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 68.1% above the 2009 sale of £163,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm.
