37 Clifton Close, Barnsley, S71 3NG

37 Clifton Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S71 3NG). 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 (November 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since June 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 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 49.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 29.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
