6 Charles Drive, Thame, OX9 3XU
About 6 Charles Drive
6 Charles Drive is a detached house in Thame (OX9 3XU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 sits 68.1% above the 2007 sale of £282,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£312/sq ft) was about 18.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 84 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
