Overview

About Watermans Reach

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Watermans Reach is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX1 4LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 666 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2008) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from September 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 62 m² it's 22.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 37 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 is 37.9% above the 2009 sale price.
