Interwar semis, 1930s Metroland, larger detached villas in Totteridge and Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Planning in Barnet
Barnet operates fairly standard suburban planning; most side and rear extensions land under permitted development or a straightforward householder application. Hampstead Garden Suburb is the notable exception with its own conservation regime.
Party Wall Act — what to expect
Semi-detached stock means one party wall — much cheaper Award process than inner London terraces.

Typical costs in Barnet
For a mid-spec 25 m² rear dormer loft conversion, all-in (structural design, building control, party wall, VAT and 12% contingency), expect roughly £95,000 to £155,000. A mansard, a hip-to-gable with high-spec en-suite joinery or a conservation-area application will push above the top of this range; a self-built rooflight conversion comes in well under the bottom.
