About 27a
27a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Maidstone (ME15 7QL). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 828 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2011) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
