About 138 Cumnor Road

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

138 Cumnor Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 sits 177% above the 2001 sale of £165,000.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 138 Cumnor Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 5JR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 138 Cumnor 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 138 Cumnor Road was lodged in March 2012 at band E and expired in March 2022, 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. None is matched to 138 Cumnor 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 5JR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
138 Cumnor Road is in council tax band E. 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.
