About 17 Wainscott Road
17 Wainscott Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
