Overview

About Flat

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

Flat is a mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 7BY). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 80 m² this is the 21st smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–154 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since June 2000 — that's 26 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 80 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £469,000 sits 146.8% above the 2000 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 63.2% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused, 3 pending. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An application is currently awaiting a decision.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 7BY. 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 Flat. 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 Flat was lodged in March 2025 at band C and is valid until March 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Flat. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 7BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Flat is in council tax band E. 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.
