About Citygate
Citygate is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX4 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. At 75 m² this is the 16th 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 top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 75 m² it's 27.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (59 m² median across 28 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 12.9% above the 2008 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
