Overview

About 18 Laurel Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Laurel Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chalgrove, Oxford, Oxford (OX44 7RE). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 821 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 52.8% above the 2009 sale of £180,000.
