Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on OX29: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

OX29 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 25 sales a month, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.

For sellers, £435,000 is the middle of a £286,152 to £786,500 range, so the real question is where in it your home sits; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.

Sell house

When buying here, typical prices in OX29 sit well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.

Worth checking before you commit: long-term flood risk, council tax (Band D is £2,583 a year) and planning applications nearby; your conveyancer should look at the title too.

Our free OX29 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

Across the 12 sampled OX29 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 8 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.

OX29 4EY, 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 OX29 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in OX29: 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

What it costs to run a home in OX29, band by band

Cherwell's council tax for 2026-27 set against the OX29 median sold price of £435,000 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 OX29 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 OX29 report: your questions

What is the average house price in OX29?

The typical (median) sold price in OX29 is £435,000, from 250 recorded sales between 24 October 2025 and 24 August 2026. Most sales fell between £286,152 and £786,500. 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 OX29?

Typical sold prices by type in OX29: detached homes £577,500 (106 sales), semi-detached homes £395,000 (69 sales), terraced homes £343,000 (48 sales), flats £232,500 (12 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.

How much is council tax in OX29?

OX29 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 OX29?

The Department for Education's register lists 6 open schools within 3 km of the OX29 district centre, the nearest being Madley Brook Community 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 OX29 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 OX29 a deprived area?

On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 OX29 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 8 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. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like OX29 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.

Have there been planning applications near OX29?

The last check of the local planning authority register found 1 application within 500 m of the OX29 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 OX29 sold for?

Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 246 distinct addresses in the records we hold for OX29, 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 OX29 cover my exact street?

OX29 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.
