About 12 Rowben Close
12 Rowben Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnet, London, London (N20 8QR). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since June 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 £1,356,000 sits 111.1% above the 2009 sale of £642,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
