House prices in London are rising. With the cost of living increasing, it’s no surprise that many Londoners are choosing to leave the capital in search of more affordable and spacious surroundings. 

For many, the appeal of Hertfordshire is undeniable. With more green spaces, less noise and traffic, yet proximity to London, people are finding a welcome alternative in Hertfordshire’s new build homes.

What are the Different Ways to Improve Your Living Space

Greater Affordability and Housing Supply

For many Londoners, the prospect of owning a home within the city is rapidly slipping out of reach. As prices in London continue to climb, especially in central areas, people are increasingly seeking more affordable locations for home ownership. Hertfordshire offers that alternative, with a range of new homes and properties available at more competitive prices than what you’d find in the capital.

Particularly for a young family or a couple looking to start one, the extra bedroom space and access to outdoor spaces that come with a new build home make a big difference. Simply put, Hertfordshire offers more house for your money.

More Space

The need for more space has become a growing concern for many Londoners, especially after the pandemic. Working from home and having more time in our homes has caused many to rethink their living arrangements. In Hertfordshire, you’ll often find larger properties with more rooms and even garden space, something that’s increasingly hard to come by in London’s crowded boroughs. Not only do you get more living space, but you also benefit from the peace of having a separate home office or room for hobbies.

Stronger Communities & Quality of Life

Hertfordshire offers an environment where community bonds are stronger, and the quality of life is noticeably better. In towns and villages throughout the county, you’ll find tight-knit communities where people genuinely know their neighbours. This sense of community extends beyond social connections. Browse Hertfordshire’s best attractions, including Hatfield House and Leavesden Country Park. 

A prime example of this is the small town of St Albans, where families have access to top-rated schools, local markets, and a host of parks and green spaces to explore. Such locations boast a peaceful way of life that contrasts with the hustle and bustle of London’s city streets. You’ll also find that crime rates tend to be lower in Hertfordshire, adding another layer of security for those looking to raise a family in a safer, more supportive environment.

Easy Commuting & Connectivity

One concern many people have about relocating from London to a nearby county is the commute. However, Hertfordshire is well-connected to the capital, offering a variety of transport options that make commuting straightforward. Areas like Watford and Stevenage all have direct train lines into London, with travel times of around 30 to 45 minutes.

For example, commuters from Welwyn Garden City can hop on a direct train to King’s Cross, reaching the city centre in under 30 minutes. This means you can enjoy all the benefits of living in a quieter, more spacious location without sacrificing access to London’s job opportunities or entertainment.

Active Growth, Planning, and Infrastructure Challenges

Hertfordshire’s councils are actively working to manage the growth as people make the shift. New housing developments are being designed with careful planning in mind, ensuring that communities have the infrastructure they need to thrive. The creation of new homes is complemented by the expansion of schools and amenities, meaning you won’t have to worry about services lagging. 

This trend of relocating from London to surrounding counties is not new, but the reasons behind it have shifted. What began as a financial necessity has now evolved into a desire for a better work-life balance. As people spend more time at home, their priorities have changed.
