42 Monks Avenue, Barnet, EN5 1DD
About 42 Monks Avenue
42 Monks Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnet (EN5 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1241 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 115 m² it's 17.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (139 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £599,000 sits 113.9% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
