What a square metre costs in OX28 5

| 1996 | £66,200 | £139,613 | 264 |
| 1995 | £64,000 | £139,126 | 182 |
In cash terms the typical OX28 5 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 28% 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 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 2000 (+23.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.1%). 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) | −1.5% | −3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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 5
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in OX28 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 234 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 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.
The rental side of OX28 5
The local authority for OX28 5 is West Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,277 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £934 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,041 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £320,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,277 a month (£15,324 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.
How OX28 5 trades
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX28 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in OX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. 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.
