Overview

About 3 Lovelace Road

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

3 Lovelace Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX2 8LP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £626,000 sits 69.2% above the 2013 sale of £370,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 89 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
