218 Balmoral Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Banbury (OX16 0BG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since December 2000 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 144.1% above the 2000 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 45% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
