Local market context
1a is a property in Royston, Barnsley, Barnsley (S71 4QU). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 725 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a G (score 9), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 37). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 67 m² this is the 18th smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 16–179 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (9 versus a best of 71).
Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 39.4% below the 2022 sale of £198,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£273/sq ft) was about 143.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold February 2022 for £198,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
