About Amber Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Amber Court is a detached house in Chart Sutton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 286 m² (around 3078 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
