2 Buckingham Grove, Morecambe, LA3 1BG

2 Buckingham Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Morecambe (LA3 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 93 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 is 30.8% above the 2007 sale price.
