About 20 Lawrence Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Lawrence Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Higham, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 1PE). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 41.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 24.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

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 20 Lawrence Close is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S75 1PE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 20 Lawrence Close. 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 20 Lawrence Close was lodged in April 2015 at band B and expired in April 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. None is matched to 20 Lawrence Close. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S75 1PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Lawrence Close is in council tax band C. 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.
