Overview

About 40 Fox Crescent

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

40 Fox Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX1 4UX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1085 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 is 12.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£420/sq ft) was about 55.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £455,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
