About 12 St Margarets Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 St Margarets Road is a semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 6RU). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). At 62 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–275 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 15 units on file.
It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 1524.3% above the 1998 sale of £29,797. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 93.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (188 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 12 St Margarets Road is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 6RU. 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 12 St Margarets Road. 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 12 St Margarets Road was lodged in January 2024 at band D and is valid until January 2034. 4 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 12 St Margarets Road. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 6RU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 St Margarets Road is in council tax band F. 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.
