Overview

About 20 Home Close

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

20 Home Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolvercote, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 941 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2009–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 sits 69.3% above the 2010 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£398/sq ft) was about 26.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
