About 17 Bennett Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Bennett Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chacombe, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 2JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 sits 54.8% above the 2015 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

- 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 17 Bennett Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
