Overview

About 24 St James Road

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

24 St James Road is a semi-detached house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
