We’re currently in North London but have been looking to move out of London. We’ve been exploring various places like Hertford and Ware but have found we can’t really find something big enough on our budget. Hoddesdon seems a bit more affordable and seems nice from what I’ve seen. Any thoughts? What’s the town like? What are the schools like?

I have family nearby and I personally think it’s a bit chavvy! They say it’s become very Reform-y. Not much on the high street, a few shops and restaurants. Some big supermarkets around and you’re close to Broxbourne to commute to Liverpool St. Hertford is the nicest out of the three but it’s a huge pain in the ass for commuting

My brother in law commutes from Hertford to central every day, never heard a complaint, what are you thinking the problem is with the commute?

Hertford is particularly good for commuting as it has 2 mainline train stations. One of the reasons property is expensive. Hertford East takes you down to Liverpool Street via Tottenham Hale. Hertford North takes you to Moorgate via Finsbury Park. Not cheap but you can use contact less.
