| 1996 | £65,200 | £137,504 | 172 |
| 1995 | £64,000 | £139,126 | 143 |
In cash terms the typical OX14 5 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £337,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX14 5 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 2002 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.5%). 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) | +5.5% | +3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OX14 5
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 50 OX14 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 237 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 a year over the last five. 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.
The rental side of OX14 5
The local authority for OX14 5 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.
Set against the £337,500 median sold price, £1,333 a month is £15,996 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.
Reading the OX14 5 market
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX14 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the OX14 district median, OX14 5 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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.
