  • T004 Robinia - Further remedial works, following branch failure. The branch appears to have fallen as a result of lack of support from the removed, failed section of the crown. This is suggested by rubbing wound on the fallen branch when paired with the location on the tree from which the branch fell from. Recommendation: Reduction of up to 3m of the remainder of the tree to reduce the sail effect and rebalance the tree. T116 Cherry - Tree has significantly deteriorated since the survey in December 2024 and is almost now dead – it is visibly in poor form and there is significant defoliation.

  • T106 Cedar of Lebanon Observations: Overall good health, although is situated in a tarmac carpark, adjacent to blocked paving and within close proximity to a care home. As a result of the large size of the tree, the roots have created an uneven surface on both the footpath and car park. Residents are reported to have tripped over, thus creating a health and safety concern. The hard surfaces and weight of the parked cars is likely to have caused soil compaction, and some root damage is already visible. Recommendations: Removal of the tree and primary root system would allow for surfaces to be levelled to mitigate the risk of injury - with a possibility of replanting. The full dismantle and removal of the tree. We have been asked by the client to emphasise the H&S issues as lots of the elderly residents have fallen over on the roots.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the OX49 median sold price — a comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The OX49 report: your questions

What is the average house price in OX49?
The median sold price in OX49, South Oxfordshire was £495,000 across 250 recorded sales between 17 Feb 2023 and 6 Jul 2026. Most sales fell between £246,750 and £911,250. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.
Are house prices in OX49 going up or down?
Comparing the two most recent complete twelve-month periods in the records we hold, the median in OX49 moved from £442,000 (69 sales) to £530,000 (47 sales) — a change of +19.9%. Both periods are drawn from the same set of recorded sales, so they are directly comparable.
How much is council tax in OX49?
OX49 is billed by South Oxfordshire, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,598 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band — look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near OX49?
The Department for Education's register lists 2 open schools within 3 km of the OX49 district centre, the nearest being Icknield Community College (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
Is OX49 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 OX49 postcodes we sampled run from decile 7 to decile 9, with a median of decile 9 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like OX49 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near OX49?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 210 applications within 500 m of the OX49 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in OX49 sold for?
Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 244 distinct addresses in the records we hold for OX49, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
How up to date are the OX49 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 31 July 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Does OX49 cover my exact street?
OX49 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges — not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
