Overview

About 8a

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

8a is a semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 6RU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 60 m² this is the 2nd 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.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (188 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
