David and Victoria have Beckingham Palace valued
Sources close to the couple say they are keen to sell the building and surrounding land but it is not yet on the market
David and Victoria Beckham are putting their seven-bedroom country mansion up for sale as they prepare to make America their permanent home.
The couple's 24-acre estate, dubbed Beckingham Palace, has been valued by estate agents.
They bought the property in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, for £2.5 million (Dh14.18 million) in 1999 and it is now estimated to be worth as much as £18 million.
Sources close to the couple say they are keen to sell the building and surrounding land but it is not yet on the market.
It is understood the Beckhams, who are worth £125 million, want to make Los Angeles their base for the family and think their sons — Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5 — are happily settled there.
Since moving three years ago when David, 35, joined the LA Galaxy football club, they have adapted easily to life in LA. The Beckhams also own an £11 million house in Beverly Hills, a £2 million chateau in France and a luxury apartment in Dubai.
A spokesman for the Beckhams said: "I can confirm David and Victoria have had their UK home valued."
