if you are canny you can make the market work for you.
At the end of last year, I sold my 1 bed flat in east london for nearly double what I paid for it 3 years before in 2011. I moved 2 miles up the road and purchased a decent size period freehold which was still a large chunk of money, but after all the fees/SDLT/and improvements we will make to the house (just had a new kitchen fitted which was v painful) we still have walked away with a decent wedge of cash.
the key is to stay as local as you can but find a pocket where the market hasnt risen as much as the one you are selling - that way you get a more suitable house for your circumstance but you still pocket a decent return..

good link, does anyone understand it? :p)
Seems to show no difference in the size of the circle for hertford sele vs richard hale. Just a colour difference due to the schools performance.
Suspect the data is not granular enough, and the variations we see in hertford are so specific to a few roads you dont see them in national stats?

Slightly off topic but I still think relevant.........
Why move to Hertford to get close to a school when you can get into to Hertford secondary schools even if you live in Welwyn Garden City? Local villages I can understand but WGC?

A frightening new report shows how far out of reach the property market has become for first time buyers in the South East:

This is becoming a major problem. It must already be virtually impossible for young people to set up home in Hertford. The market is out of control.
