About 18 Birchfield Close
18 Birchfield Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 6DL). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 sits 101.3% above the 2009 sale of £150,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 79 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (68 m² median across 39 EPCs).
