Overview

About 45 Sandford Lane

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

It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2014); the latest reading is one band lower.

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 45 Sandford Lane is modelled from its 208 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 5RW. 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 45 Sandford Lane. 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 45 Sandford Lane was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, 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 45 Sandford Lane. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 5RW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
45 Sandford Lane is in council tax band G. 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.
