Local market context
East Bank is a semi-detached house in Sandway, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2NA). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2011. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
