282a, Flat, Abingdon Road, Oxford, OX1 4TE

282a is a detached house in Oxford (OX1 4TE). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2002 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 107.8% above the 2002 sale of £180,000. At 57 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
