Overview

About 5 Hernes Close

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

5 Hernes Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 7QW). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. At 66 m² this is the 7th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 61–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (57 versus a best of 80). Other recorded features include a balcony. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 is 14.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£457/sq ft) was about 21.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in February 2017.

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 5 Hernes Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 7QW. 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 5 Hernes Close. 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 5 Hernes Close was lodged in January 2014 at band D and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Hernes Close. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 7QW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Hernes Close is in council tax band D. 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.
