Summary
House prices in OX20: the typical (median) sold price is £504,050, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 4.1%, comparing 75 sales with 104, so a handful of homes can swing it. OX20 is a quiet market, with about 8 recorded sales a month. By property type, 30% were semi-detached homes (typically £508,000) and 30% were terraced homes (typically £410,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on OX20: a quiet market, so take your time
OX20 sees just 8 sales a month, and prices have drifted down, so sellers should plan for a longer sale and buyers can afford to be patient.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £283,800 to £1,025,500 makes £504,050 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, OX20 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, though prices have eased, so there may be room to negotiate; just remember one year of falls is not a forecast.
On any OX20 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (234 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,583 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free OX20 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Cherwell (OX20) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £800,000 against £282,000 for flats: about 2.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £283,800 and £1,025,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 8 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled OX20 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 10, with a median of decile 9 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
OX20 1JL, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 9 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so OX20 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in OX20: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in OX20, band by band
Cherwell's council tax for 2026-27 set against the OX20 median sold price of £504,050 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the OX20 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
