About 3 Ashcroft Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Ashcroft Road is a detached house in Banbury (OX16 9DU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in January 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 506% above the 1999 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 73.4% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

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 3 Ashcroft Road is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX16 9DU. 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 3 Ashcroft Road. 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 3 Ashcroft Road was lodged in March 2013 at band D and expired in March 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Ashcroft Road. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX16 9DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Ashcroft Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
