House surveys in Barnet

Barnet is a large, mostly suburban borough stretching from Golders Green and Hendon to the Hertfordshire border. Victorian and Edwardian houses cluster around the older centres and railway stations, but much of the borough is interwar suburbia, from Metroland-era semis to the Arts and Crafts streets of Hampstead Garden Suburb. London Clay is widespread, so subsidence linked to trees and dry summers is a recurring survey theme.
