About Empress Court
Empress Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX1 1HG). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2019) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity.

The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
