Overview

About 1 Buckingham Lodge

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

It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 54 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 1 Buckingham Lodge (54–57 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
