How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX16 0BU. 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.

About 16a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Banbury (OX16 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2013–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 is 10.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£327/sq ft) was about 59% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: August 2021 at £370,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX16 0BU. 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 16a. 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 16a was lodged in July 2016 at band E and expired in July 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. None is matched to 16a. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX16 0BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16a is in council tax band D. 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.
