About 12b
12b is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 2JD). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 248 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2020); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £355,000 sits 332.9% above the 1997 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£331/sq ft) was about 22.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it sits well below the postcode median (88 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
