19 Forster Road, Beckenham, BR3 4LH
About 19 Forster Road
19 Forster Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £668,000 sits 395.9% above the 1998 sale of £134,700. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
