About 5 Broad Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Broad Close is a semi-detached house in Oxford (OX2 9DR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 sits 73.6% above the 2008 sale of £261,000. At 91 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 4 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Broad Close is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 9DR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Broad Close. 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 Broad Close was lodged in June 2015 at band D and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Broad Close. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 9DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Broad Close is in council tax band D. 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.
