About 78 Bridge Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
78 Bridge Street is a mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 122.3% above the 2003 sale of £220,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, 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 78 Bridge Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 0BD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 78 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 78 Bridge Street was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 78 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 0BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 78 Bridge Street is in council tax band D. 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.
