| 1996 | £76,000 | £160,281 | 86 |
| 1995 | £73,600 | £159,995 | 64 |
In cash terms the typical OX28 1 home went from £73,600 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 15% 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 OX28 1 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 1997 (+23.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). 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) | +4.2% | +1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OX28 1
How many homes change hands
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 45 OX28 1 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 247 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 a year over the last five. 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 OX28 1 is
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX28 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within OX28, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around OX28 1
The local authority for OX28 1 is West Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,277 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £934 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,041, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,277 a month is £15,324 a year, which against the £370,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
