Overview

About 12 Capel Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Capel Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnet, London, London (N20 0QU). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. At 71 m² this is the 27th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in August 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 77.9% above the 2008 sale of £240,000. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2008. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
