Overview

About 23 Helen Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Helen Road is a semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
