Barnet Council's cabinet decided in September 2025 to sell some of its housing stock, aiming to raise £10 million. This decision, made on 16 September 2025, is part of the Housing Revenue Account Business Plan 2025 and requires Barnet Homes to raise funds through selective disposals of HRA properties.
The capital receipts from these sales are intended to offset Housing Revenue Account borrowing requirements. A report to the cabinet indicated the council faces a projected £55.7 million funding gap, which the sales aim to address.
