About 96 Union Street

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

96 Union Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Maidstone (ME14 1EH).

Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump.
