About 13 Florence Street
13 Florence Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
