Overview

About 7 Benson Place

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

7 Benson Place is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 6QH). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,143,000 sits 54.5% above the 2012 sale of £740,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in February 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
