About Heyford House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Heyford House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 4RP). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 680 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 63 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Heyford House (41–63 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2000 — that's 27 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. At 63 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 211.8% above the 2000 sale of £46,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 43% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Heyford House is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX16 4RP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Heyford House. 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 Heyford House was lodged in April 2009 at band E and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Heyford House. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX16 4RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
