About 2 Garford Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Garford Road is a detached house in Oxford (OX2 6UY). It has a recorded floor area of 293 m² (around 3154 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 293 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £2,804,000 sits 583.9% above the 1997 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 71.5% below the postcode norm. 20 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 2 Garford Road is modelled from its 293 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 6UY. 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 2 Garford 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 2 Garford Road was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 20 applications are matched to 2 Garford 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 6UY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Garford Road is in council tax band G. 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.
