About 8 Richmond Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Richmond Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX1 2JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,839,000 sits 59.2% above the 2014 sale of £1,155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£662/sq ft) was about 27.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. 12 years since the last transfer (September 2014).

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 8 Richmond Road is modelled from its 162 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 2JJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Richmond Road. 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 8 Richmond Road was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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. 6 applications are matched to 8 Richmond Road. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 2JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Richmond Road is in council tax band G. 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.
