Take the 44 registered 2026 sales in OX12 0 and the middle price, the median, is £342,500. The mean lands at £397,600, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in OX12 0

| 1996 | £66,000 | £139,191 | 147 |
| 1995 | £61,500 | £133,692 | 131 |
In cash terms the typical OX12 0 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £342,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 156%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX12 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
OX12 0 recorded 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 169 sales a year over the last five years against 142 before the financial crisis. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market OX12 0 is
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
What homes rent for around OX12 0
For renting purposes OX12 0 sits in Vale of White Horse. The ONS average private rent there is £1,333 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,201, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £342,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,333 a month (£15,996 a year) works out at a 4.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: OX prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |
| Semi-detached | £285,000 | £350,000 (+23%) | £413,375 (+18%) | £550,000 (+33%) | £848,750 (+54%) |

| Flat | £200,000 | £255,000 (+27%) | £475,000 (+86%) | £625,500 (+32%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
