Overview

About 5 Beech Road

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

5 Beech Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Botley, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 9EF). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 26.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£417/sq ft) was about 40.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
