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 September 2021 reflect this, with the average selling price of a flat being £387,357 and of a semi-detached property £480,000 (source: Land Registry).
There were 11,659 households in Hertford according to the 2011 census, a rise of 10% when compared with the 2001 census figure of 10,547, and a rise of 23% 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 side of the former railway sidings and industrial land along Mead Lane. Other recent developments of significant size have been built in Ware Road, Mead Lane and in Bengeo. Many more are expected in the coming years, with permission having been granted for developments in west of the town.
