1a sits at the bottom of the postcode for energy efficiency — meaningful headroom to improve.

How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 5AF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Where sold prices come from

Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 1a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Reading the EPC

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1a was lodged in February 2015 at band F and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

Planning records

Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.

Area figures

Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 5AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.

Council tax band

1a is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
