Overview

About The Oaks

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

The Oaks is a five-bedroom detached house in Loughton (IG10 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 191 m² the property is well over the postcode median (137 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£491/sq ft) was about 56.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
