About The Oaks

The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 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 255 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £802,000 sits 633.5% above the 2009 sale of £109,333. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 79.1% below the postcode norm.
