About 26a

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

26a is a mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME1 1PT). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across 26a (35–38 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (37 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale.
