About 5 Alston Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Alston Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Silkstone, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 4NW). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £438,000 sits 75.2% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 5 Alston Close is modelled from its 195 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S75 4NW. 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 5 Alston 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 5 Alston Close was lodged in September 2014 at band B and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Alston 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S75 4NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Alston Close is in council tax band E. 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.
