About 8 County Gate
8 County Gate is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in New Barnet, Barnet, Barnet (EN5 1EH). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £680,000 is 10.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£665/sq ft) was about 88.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
