Overview

About 5 Harpes Road

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

5 Harpes Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 7QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 815 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £581,000 sits 79.9% above the 2013 sale of £323,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 76 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in March 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
