How S36 3 prices moved
There are too few years of sales in S36 3 to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to S36 3 values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. S36 3 is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 31 | 47.7% | £270,000 | £33,000 – £700,000 |
| Terraced | 20 | 30.8% | £149,950 | £42,750 – £490,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 16.9% | £230,000 | £67,000 – £499,950 |
| Flat or maisonette | 3 | 4.6% | £200,000 | £200,000 – £370,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in S36 3
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 freehold — 6.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £143,000 and the median freehold sale £248,000 — a gap of +73.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 4 | 6.2% | £143,000 |
| Freehold | 61 | 93.8% | £248,000 |
| New build | 2 | 3.1% | £301,000 |
| Existing home | 63 | 96.9% | £225,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +33.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 10 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in S36 3
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Barnsley, 42.9% of 122,792 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 712 | 0.6% |
| B | 13,385 | 10.9% |
| C | 38,632 | 31.5% |
| D | 51,125 | 41.6% |
| E | 15,142 | 12.3% |
| F | 2,976 | 2.4% |
| G | 820 | 0.7% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Barnsley at £686 a month as of Jun 2026 — £499 for a one-bedroom home and £741 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £230,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.58% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for S36 in Jun 2026 by South Yorkshire. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around S36 3
The 2021 census counted 244,572 residents in Barnsley across 108,053 households. 62.8% of those households own their home and 36.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a S36 postcode: 11 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Section 09
How S36 3 compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. S36 3 sits above that national figure — +46.0%.
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £33,000 to £700,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
S36 3 sits in Barnsley, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Barnsley at 5.1 times median local earnings of £35,629 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in S36 3?
The median price paid in S36 3 across every sale on the register is £230,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in S36 3?
65 sales are on record for S36 3, the most recent completing on 29 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have S36 3 house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +65.8% between 2002 and 2007. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +49.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were S36 3 house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £315,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in S36 3?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 29 Jan 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
