Overview

About 4 Convent Close

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

4 Convent Close is a detached house in Beckenham (BR3 5GD). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 108 m² it's 22.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (139 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £768,000 sits 67% above the 2009 sale of £460,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£396/sq ft) was about 21.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2010. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
