Questions people ask
Is Barnet safe?
Police recorded about 70.8 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than London as a whole (98.1). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Barnet?
Homes sold for a typical £6,480 per m² in the year to August 2026, about the same as London as a whole (£6,380 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £455,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Barnet?
There are 89 state primary and 27 state secondary schools inside Barnet's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Barnet a deprived area?
7% of Barnet's 220 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 11% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
