Overview

About 3 Florence Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Florence Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
