About 29 Padbury Drive
29 Padbury Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Banbury (OX16 4TG). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 59 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–154 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 33 units on file.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
