About 12 Bristol Close
12 Bristol Close is an end-of-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 2QG). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
