Overview

About 8 Marley Close

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

8 Marley Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Botley, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 9FQ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 is 38.2% above the 2007 sale price.
