Overview

About 166 Cumnor Road

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

166 Cumnor Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JS). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1995–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 57.9% above the 2014 sale of £330,000. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.

How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 166 Cumnor Road is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 5JS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 166 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 166 Cumnor Road was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 166 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 5JS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
166 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.
