About 1a
1a is a detached house in Oxford (OX4 1SH). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2017) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
Today's modelled estimate of £623,000 is 68.8% below the 2017 sale of £2,000,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,998/sq ft) was about 419.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (150 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
