How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beacon View | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector S74 8 | – | £125,000 | £91,000 | £94,000 | £89,950 |
| Barnsley | £180,000 | £140,000 +29% since | £110,000 +64% since | £100,000 +80% since | £107,000 +68% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in S74 8, over the last five years (273 sales):
- What sells: 39% semi-detached, 33% terraced, 19% detached, 5% other, 4% flats.
- 8% sold leasehold, and 2% were new builds.
- 38 sales in the last twelve months, against 74 in the same twelve months five years ago.
