Overview

About 8 Buckingham Road

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

8 Buckingham Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ilford (IG1 1RG). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 107.8% above the 2009 sale of £179,000.
