Overview

About Dunns Cottage

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

Dunns Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Great Bourton, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 1QR). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2019 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 56% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 15.6% below the postcode norm. At 90 m² it's 19.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 6 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Dunns Cottage is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX17 1QR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Dunns Cottage. 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 Dunns Cottage was lodged in March 2022 at band D and is valid until March 2032. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Dunns Cottage. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 20 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX17 1QR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Dunns Cottage 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.
