Overview

About 7a

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

7a is a detached house in Oxford (OX2 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 1995 — that's 30 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. Today's modelled estimate of £1,345,000 sits 572.5% above the 1995 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 80.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
