About 15 Merton Street
15 Merton Street is a mid-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 4RU). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 sits 66% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 27.1% below the postcode norm.
