OX14 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside OX14 (Abingdon). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical OX14 3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX14 3 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 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX14 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −18.8% | −20.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
OX14 3 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 214 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around OX14 3
The local authority for OX14 3 is Vale of White Horse, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,333 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £1,333 a month is £15,996 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How OX14 3 trades
This is a thin market: 53 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
