About Rachel House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Rachel House is a mid-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 5HA). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 31 m² this is the 8th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Rachel House, where floor areas span 14–43 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 72). Earlier certificates rated it B (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
