About 2 Hornbeam House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Hornbeam House is a two-bedroom detached house in Banbury (OX16 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 777 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 72 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 71–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (79 versus a best of 81). The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 is 26.2% above the 2009 sale price.
