About 45 Charles Street
45 Charles Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.
