Overview

About 5 Back Lane

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

5 Back Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eynsham, Witney, Witney (OX29 4QP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 72 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 20 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 is 39.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£348/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
