About The Heights
The Heights is a mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1DX). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 551 sq ft) and council tax band B. At 51 m² this is the 21st smallest of 23 units on EPC record in The Heights, where floor areas span 30–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (48 versus a best of 85). The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
