How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23a is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 9PE. 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.

About 23a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23a is a detached house in Cumnor, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 9PE). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1606 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £746,000 sits 78.9% above the 2009 sale of £417,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 22.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 23a is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 9PE. 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 23a. 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 23a was lodged in November 2008 at band D and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 23a. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 9PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23a is in council tax band F. 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.
