Flat 1, 105 Oxford Road, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 2ER

Flat 1 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cowley, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2019) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. At 44 m² this is the 10th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 19–44 m². On EPC score it ranks last in the building (69 versus a best of 78).

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 50 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 48.5% above the 2009 sale price.
