Asset of Community Value (ACV)

The property is designated as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) under the Localism Act 2011.

As such, any disposal must follow the statutory ACV sale process, granting eligible community groups the right to bid ahead of an open market sale.

Under the Act, a disposal of an ACV triggers a moratorium period during which eligible community interest groups may express an intention to bid for the property. The process is as follows:

  • Interim Moratorium (6 Weeks):
    Community interest groups have 6 weeks from 6th March 2026 to submit a written request to be treated as a potential bidder.

  • Full Moratorium (6 Months):
    If such a request is received within the 6‑week period, a full moratorium of up to 6 months will apply, during which time the owner may not dispose of the asset other than to a community interest group.

  • Protected Period (12 Months):
    Following the end of the moratorium period, the Council may dispose of the property freely for 12 months without triggering another moratorium.

  • Expressions of interest must be submitted in writing via email to Barnet Council [use Contact Agent Button] within the specified period.

    Further information about the site or the ACV process can be found on Barnet Council’s website at
