Property in Barnet

Barnet is one of London’s largest boroughs and it’s well connected to Central London via two Underground lines and a railway station. It’s a short drive from the M25 and M1 and 20 minutes from the North Circular at Finchley.

In addition to great transport links, competitive property prices and easy access to the Hertfordshire countryside have made Barnet a popular place to buy property. Housing ranges from period homes around Chipping Barnet to modern mansions in Hadley Wood and Arkley. Brookmans Park, Cuffley and Essendon are other local property hotspots. Hampstead Garden Suburb is a prime residential location.

Major regeneration projects are planned for the Dollis Valley area of Chipping Barnet, while Grahame Park in Colindale has recently been completed. Barnet’s average property price lies around £633,780 (Rightmove), 7% up in 2016 and more expensive than nearby Enfield but cheaper than Islington. Most property sales in Barnet last year involved flats.

FAQs

How can a HomeBuyer Report save money?

With the average bill for unexpected repairs for new homeowners standing at around £5,750, a HomeBuyer Report can mitigate the risk. Providing ample information regarding the condition and structure of the property you’re about to make a huge financial commitment to, it enables you to decide to go ahead at the agreed price, renegotiate or walk away from the transaction altogether.

What is a matrimonial property valuation?

In the event of a separation or divorce, all assets will need to be divided fairly between the parties. A formal property valuation carried out by an independent, certified expert will help to protect the interests of both parties and limit the scope for dispute. It is useful to jointly appoint a surveyor or valuer prior to any legal proceedings taking place.
