Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

What a square metre costs in OX4 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of OX4 1 sales average about £6,220 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.

In cash terms the typical OX4 1 home went from £87,000 in 1995 to £620,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 228%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX4 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 2014 (+21.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX4 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
OX4 1 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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.
What tenants pay around OX4 1
The local authority for OX4 1 is Oxford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,958 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,347 a month here against £2,857 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Oxford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £620,000 median sold price, £1,958 a month is £23,496 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.
The shape of the OX4 1 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX4 1 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. Within OX4, this sector trades 49% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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.
