About 1 Swan Street
1 Swan Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. 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 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 65.5% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
