About 21 Home Close

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

21 Home Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolvercote, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £576,000 sits 51.1% above the 2013 sale of £381,239. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£454/sq ft) was about 42.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
