The homes the 1907 station built
Golders Green was a straggling hamlet in 1901. The first new houses went up at the corner of Wentworth Road and Hoop Lane in 1905, and the Underground station opened in 1907, now on the Edgware branch of the Northern line in fare zone 3. Building followed the trains fast.
The Finchley Road and Golders Green Syndicate started an estate south of Temple Fortune that year, including Templars Avenue and Wentworth Road, and Hodford Road and Rodborough Road were laid out on Ecclesiastical Commissioners’ land, with houses spreading south towards Childs Hill. In 1909 Golders Lodge came down and Golders Gardens, Gainsborough Gardens and Powis Gardens went up on its site. The ward had 4,465 people in 1911 and 17,837 by 1931.
After the First World War most of the old villas on Golders Green Road were replaced with semi-detached houses and big blocks of flats, such as Brook Lodge and Riverside Drive. That gives Golders Green its two main kinds of rented home.
One is the Edwardian or interwar house, often now split into two or three flats with a shared hall and a kitchen fitted into a former back room. The other is the flat in an interwar block, with high ceilings, picture rails and a communal stair. Newer purpose-built blocks near the station and along Finchley Road add a third.
Renting has grown quickly in the borough. At the 2021 census 32.7% of Barnet households rented privately, against 25.6% in 2011 and a London figure of 30%. The ONS put Barnet’s average private rent at £1,949 a month in August 2026: £1,500 for a one-bed, £1,858 for a two-bed and £2,256 for a three-bed.
Each kind of home has its own slow spots. A converted Edwardian flat usually has an older kitchen with no proper extractor, so grease builds up on the wall behind the hob and on top of the wall units.
The mansion flats have tall sash windows with glazing bars that hold grime in every corner, and dust that settles along the picture rail. In the new blocks the glossy kitchen doors show every smear, and the shower screens scale up quickly.
Kosher kitchens at check-out
At the 2021 census 49.9% of Golders Green ward residents (7,358 of 14,744) identified as Jewish, and the area has more than 40 synagogues. That makes kosher kitchens common in rented homes here.
A kosher kitchen keeps meat and dairy apart, so it usually has separate sets of dishes and pans in separate cupboards, and often two sinks or two draining areas. A kosher kitchen often means two sinks to descale and more cupboards to empty, and sometimes a second oven. The check-in inventory will have logged all of it. Tell us the layout when you book so the quote and the time on the day are right.
The cleaners degrease, descale and clean to the inventory standard. They do not kasher anything. If you would rather deal with some items or areas yourself, say so and the cleaners will leave them untouched. We work seven days a week, so a household that keeps Shabbat can book a Sunday or an early Friday instead.

Parking on Golders Green Road and the streets off it is controlled; the council’s zone was first brought in in 1997 and now stretches from Golders Green to Childs Hill. Where the van needs a paid bay, we add what it costs us and show it on the quote.
The clean, room by room
Thames Water supplies NW11 from its Hampstead West supply zone. Samples in 2025 averaged 269 mg/l total hardness, with a high of 287, which is hard water. An inventory clerk records scale as dirt, so descaling is part of every clean at no extra cost.
- Kitchen: inside every cupboard and drawer, worktops, tiles and the wall behind the hob, tops of the wall units, hob and extractor filter, sinks and taps descaled, fridge and freezer (defrost them the night before), washing machine seal and drawer, and the floor under appliances that pull out.
- Bathroom: screen, taps, shower head and tiles descaled, grout scrubbed, bath, basin and toilet cleaned, extractor vent dusted, mirror polished.
- Other rooms: cobwebs and picture rails first, then skirting, doors, frames, switches, radiators and sills, sash windows and glazing bars from the inside, inside wardrobes, and the floors last.
The cleaners bring all their own products and kit. The flat needs to be empty, with the electricity and hot water on. If your building has no lift and the removal runs late, book the clean for the next morning so it starts in an empty flat.
Deposits and Barnet’s licensing rules
Your deposit sits in one of three government-backed schemes. At the end, the landlord can only deduct for damage, missing items or a home left dirtier than the check-in inventory shows, allowing for fair wear and tear.
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 a landlord cannot charge you for a professional clean or make you use a named company. Keep our invoice and your own dated photos; if a cleaning deduction goes to the scheme’s free dispute service, the adjudicator decides on evidence.
Barnet has three rules that matter for rented homes here. A borough-wide Article 4 direction has needed planning permission since 29 May 2016 to turn a family house into a small shared house. The additional HMO licensing scheme has covered the whole borough since 27 October 2022, for five years, and catches homes shared by three or four people from more than one household; the mandatory licence still covers five or more.
Selective licensing, which would cover single-household lets, is not in force. The council consulted from 15 June to 15 September 2026 on a scheme for ten wards including Golders Green, so check the current position before you accept that your flat needs one.
In a shared house the sharers rarely leave on the same day. One sharer can book their own room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom by the hour, and the last to go books the rest.
Our cleaners also cover Temple Fortune, north along Finchley Road, Childs Hill, where the housing spread south from Hodford Road after 1907, and Hampstead Garden Suburb, Henrietta Barnett’s garden suburb to the east. The full list of areas is on the end of tenancy cleaning Barnet page.
Golders Green end of tenancy FAQs
Will you clean a kosher kitchen in Golders Green?
Yes. The cleaners degrease and descale both sinks, every cupboard and the hob, and leave alone anything you want to handle yourself. They do not kasher. Tell us about two ovens or two sinks when you book so the quote is right.
Does my Golders Green flat need a selective licence?
Not at the moment. Barnet consulted in summer 2026 on selective licensing for ten wards including Golders Green, but no scheme is in force. A home shared by three or more people from two or more households does need an additional HMO licence, under the borough-wide scheme running since October 2022.
Can you clean on a Sunday?
Yes. We work 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. Sunday and month-end slots go first, so ring 0333 555 2076 as soon as you have a check-out date.
Is the hard water an extra charge?
No. NW11 water is hard, and descaling the taps, screens, tiles and kettle is part of the fixed price.
I’m on the third floor with no lift. Does that change anything?
Only the timing. The clean costs the same, but a walk-up removal often runs long, so book us for the morning after the van has gone.
