Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on OX25: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

250 sales since March 2025 make OX25 a steady market, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.

For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £585,000 against £320,500 for terraced homes, which explains a spread of £209,874 to £718,700, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Sell house

When buying here, typical prices in OX25 sit well above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.

Before you offer in OX25, check what you are paying for a new-build premium, whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,583 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.

Where the numbers are this loose, the free OX25 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English

What the Cherwell (OX25) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £585,000 against £320,500 for terraced homes: about 1.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £209,874 and £718,700, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (90%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

  • 15% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.
  • This is a quiet district: only about 15 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled OX25 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

OX25 2NG, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 OX25 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in OX25: 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.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the OX25 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.

Questions, answered

The OX25 report: your questions

What is the average house price in OX25?
The typical (median) sold price in OX25 is £412,500, from 250 recorded sales between 31 March 2025 and 21 August 2026. Most sales fell between £209,874 and £718,700. That is well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in OX25?
Typical sold prices by type in OX25: detached homes £585,000 (100 sales), semi-detached homes £354,000 (66 sales), terraced homes £320,500 (66 sales), flats £280,000 (7 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in OX25?
OX25 is billed by Cherwell, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,583 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near OX25?
The Department for Education's register lists 2 open schools within 3 km of the OX25 district centre, the nearest being Chesterton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the OX25 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is OX25 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 OX25 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 3 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like OX25 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near OX25?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 2 applications within 500 m of the OX25 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in OX25 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 248 distinct addresses in the records we hold for OX25, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does OX25 cover my exact street?
OX25 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
