Overview

About 179 Iffley Road

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

179 Iffley Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 1EL). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since May 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £658,000 is 22.6% below the 2016 sale of £850,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£806/sq ft) was about 187.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
