About 38 Bridge Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Bridge Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 736 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 56.6% above the 2007 sale of £325,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 38 Bridge Street is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 0BB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 38 Bridge Street. 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 38 Bridge Street was lodged in March 2011 at band E and expired in March 2021, 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. 2 applications are matched to 38 Bridge Street. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 0BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Bridge Street 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.
