Overview

About Citygate

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

Citygate is a two-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX4 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2023 and council tax band C. At 41 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 17 units on EPC record in Citygate, where floor areas span 40–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since March 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and floor efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good.

Held since January 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 is 43.6% above the 2009 sale price.
