What a square metre costs in OX13

In cash terms the typical OX13 home went from £89,500 in 1995 to £402,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 107%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX13 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 2003 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £565,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.0% | −18.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.3% | −7.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.9% | −4.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in OX13
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
OX13 recorded 150 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 200 sales a year recently, against 199 a year before 2008. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Reading the OX13 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around OX13
The local authority for OX13 is Vale of White Horse, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,333 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,201 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £402,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,333 a month (£15,996 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Two maps carry on from here: every OX13 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.
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.
