About 20 South Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 South Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2008–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £692,000 is 17.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£571/sq ft) was about 62% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £590,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 20 South Street is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 0BE. 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 20 South 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 20 South Street was lodged in July 2020 at band E and is valid until July 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 20 South 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 0BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 South Street is in council tax band E. 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.
