About 16 Paradise Square
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Paradise Square is a mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX1 1TW). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 417 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 39 m² this is the 6th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–105 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 is 99% below the 2024 sale of £22,597,200, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54,247/sq ft) was about 16955.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sale on file: £22,597,200 in September 2024.

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 16 Paradise Square is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 1TW. 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 16 Paradise Square. 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 16 Paradise Square was lodged in November 2009 at band C and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 16 Paradise Square. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 1TW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Paradise Square is in council tax band B. 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.
