About 3 Buckingham Avenue
3 Buckingham Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Welling (DA16 2LY). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
