About 8 Keene Close
8 Keene Close is a detached house in Sandford-On-Thames, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 4XB). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 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 £675,000 sits 246.2% above the 1998 sale of £195,000.
