35 Forster Road, Beckenham, BR3 4LH

35 Forster Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since August 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £919,000 sits 167.2% above the 2010 sale of £344,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 35.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
