About 17 Fay Close

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

17 Fay Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 698 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
