Overview

About 1 Buckingham Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Buckingham Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7QE). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since October 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 sits 162.3% above the 2001 sale of £151,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 33.9% below the postcode norm.
