Overview

About The Valley

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The Valley is a detached house in Mollington, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 6 EPCs).
