About Garford House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Garford House is a four-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX2 6UY). It has a recorded floor area of 407 m² (around 4376 sq ft) and council tax band H. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

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 Garford House is modelled from its 407 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 Garford House. 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 Garford House was lodged in February 2010 at band C and expired in February 2020, 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. 3 applications are matched to Garford House. 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
- Garford House is in council tax band H. 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.
