Overview

About 3 Back Lane West

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

3 Back Lane West is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Royston, Barnsley, Barnsley (S71 4SB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 38.3% above the 2009 sale price.
