About 1 Orchard Piece
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Orchard Piece is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Mollington, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £391,000 is 11.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 34.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £350,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
