Overview

About 150a

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

150a is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cowley, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 2EA). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 63 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since April 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 150.2% above the 1998 sale of £117,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 15.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
