About 17 Shirelake Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Shirelake Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX1 1SN). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 is 47.4% above the 2007 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Shirelake Close is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 1SN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Shirelake Close. 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 17 Shirelake Close was lodged in July 2018 at band C and is valid until July 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Shirelake Close. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 1SN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Shirelake Close is in council tax band D. 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.
