Overview

About 5 Lovelace Road

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

5 Lovelace Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 8LP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 960 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 89 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 sits 100.4% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£292/sq ft) was about 25.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Lovelace Road is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 8LP. 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 Lovelace Road. 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 Lovelace Road was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Lovelace Road. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 8LP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Lovelace Road 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.
