Property
Hertford's prosperity, heritage and links to the capital make it a much sought-after area for housing. As a result, property prices in the town are amongst the highest in the UK. Prices in August 2024 reflect this, with the average selling price of a flat being £379,500 and of a semi-detached property £614,611 (source: home.co.uk).
There were 12,823 households in Hertford according to the 2021 census, a rise of 10% when compared with the 2011 census figure of 11,659, and a rise of 36% when compared with the 1991 census figure of 9427.
A large number of these new homes have been built to the East of the town on the site of the former railway sidings and industrial land along Mead Lane. Other recent developments of significant size have been built in the town centre, Thieves Lane, and Bengeo. Many more are expected in the coming years, with permission having been granted for further developments east of the town.
