Overview

About 1 Sands Close

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

1 Sands Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cumnor, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 9PY). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 89.9% above the 2009 sale of £217,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm. At 92 m² it's 22.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 3 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Sands Close is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX2 9PY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Sands 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 1 Sands Close was lodged in July 2020 at band D and is valid until July 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Sands 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX2 9PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Sands 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.
