Hi,
I’m looking to relocate from London to Hertfordshire but it’s so big I don’t know where to start. I have a 2yo daughter so good primaries and secondaries schools are important. My partner and I work in Central London (Bank and old street) so would need to be close to Station. Budget is 650k for 3-4 bed house with garden (terraced, semi, detached , don’t mind)
We have visited all 3 of these places and Hitchin is by far our favourite and ticks all our boxes but just struggling to find anything in our budget.
Found lovely houses in Hertford too but a bit put of with the 50 mins commute to London.
My partner really likes the idea of Welwyn garden city as it seems you can get a lot of house for your money and very easy commute to London. We would likely be on the west side. But I’m less keen as I didn’t feel it had as much going on as hitchin and Hertford. Also forgive me if I’m wrong but heard schools are not great In particularly secondaries with the exception of monks walk but there’s no guarantee daughter will get a place there.
Any mums here can help me ? Anyone know the west side of wgc? What’s it like, are there stuff going on?
Need to find more info on schools, catchment areas, community , pros and cons to each of these places. ect To help us make this decision.
Thanks
