There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: the 2026 median for OX16 0 (Banbury) is £268,000, from 21 registered sales, up 17% on five years earlier; the mean is £269,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,140 per square metre over the last five years.

OX16 0 is one sector of OX16 (Banbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in OX16 0
Measured by floor area, the last five years of OX16 0 sales average about £3,140 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

| 1995 | £44,000 | £95,649 | 79 |
In cash terms the typical OX16 0 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £268,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 180%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX16 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 2003 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−18.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.7% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 OX16 0
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 21 sales completed in OX16 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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.
How OX16 0 trades
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX16 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around OX16 0
The local authority for OX16 0 is Cherwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,289 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £963 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,181, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cherwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £268,000 median sold price, £1,289 a month is £15,468 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: 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.

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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
