Overview

About 17 Bence Lane

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

17 Bence Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Darton, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 5NX). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 908 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since June 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 40.7% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 47.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
