About 26 Buckingham Drive
26 Buckingham Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL8 2DH). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £362,000 sits 81.9% above the 2007 sale of £199,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 24.9% below the postcode norm. At 117 m² it's 19.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 13 EPCs).
