About 5 Brookside
5 Brookside is a semi-detached house in Thame (OX9 3DE). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 62), 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 July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 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. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 404.8% above the 1997 sale of £98,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 72.7% below the postcode norm.
