About 5 Derwent Avenue
5 Derwent Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnet (EN4 8LU). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 796 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £697,000 sits 85.9% above the 2009 sale of £375,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
