How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 Bentham Drive is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 2PE. 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 9 Bentham Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
9 Bentham Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 2PE). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

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 9 Bentham Drive is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 2PE. 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 9 Bentham 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 9 Bentham Drive was lodged in March 2015 at band D and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 9 Bentham 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. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S71 2PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 9 Bentham 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.
