Local market context
7 St Lawrence Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX1 5AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since September 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £436,000 sits 123.6% above the 2005 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 35.6% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 17 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
