About 33a
33a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in New Barnet, Barnet, Barnet (EN5 5HT). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 68.5% above the 2009 sale of £174,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£405/sq ft) was about 32% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
