Local knowledge
Maidstone, Kent’s county town on the Medway.
Maidstone grew up along the River Medway, and its centre still mixes medieval and Georgian buildings with Victorian streets that spread out towards Penenden Heath and Boxley.
Beyond the town are post-war and newer estates, then villages such as Bearsted, Hollingbourne, Harrietsham, Lenham and Headcorn, where older cottages and off-gas homes are common.

Maidstone’s homes
What we see in Maidstone, and what it means for your rating.
Victorian terraces
Solid walls and older glazing are typical; loft insulation and heating controls are usually the most cost-effective steps.
Post-war estates
Cavity walls that may or may not be filled: we check carefully, because it makes a real difference to the rating.
Newer homes
Modern estates usually reach band B or C. A new EPC can confirm upgrades such as solar panels.
Village and off-gas homes
Oil, LPG or electric heating changes the picture, so model any upgrade with a draft EPC before you spend.
