What’s so great about South Herts?

South Hertfordshire exemplifies the popularity of the Home Counties – it offers most of the amenities of London at a slight remove from the hustle and bustle of the big city, as well as beautiful scenery and a wealth of period houses.

Many cities and towns in South Hertfordshire offer easy access to London via a range of overground services, including Watford, which also presents buyers with a more affordable option than many locations in southernmost Hertfordshire.

By contrast Harpenden and St Albans, popular for their Thameslink connections and abundance of Tudor, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties, have become as affluent as many areas of London.

 

How does the rent compare to London prices?

The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in St Albans is £931 pcm, compared to a whopping £1,662 pcm in central London. The cost of living for a single person in St Albans is just £579 pcm, compared to £772 pcm in central London.

 

How fast is the train link to central London?

The journey from St Albans City to St Pancras International is just 21 minutes.

 

What are the schools like in South Hertfordshire?

Of the 3,849 registered schools in South Hertfordshire:

  • 836 schools were rated outstanding in their last OFSTED inspection, 1,841 were rated good, 207 require improvement and 27 were rated as inadequate

  • 3,058 schools in Herts South are primary schools, 1,147 are secondary schools and 875 are schools for those aged 16-18
  • 2,898 schools have no religious character and 856 are Christian faith schools, (488 Church of England, 336 Roman Catholic, 1 Methodist, 1 Greek Orthodox, 1 Seventh Day Adventist, 29 Other), 14 Muslim, 6 Hindu, 40 Jewish, 7 Sikh.

 

Why choose to teach in South Hertfordshire?

  • The many period properties in South Hertfordshire make for excellent investments
  • A far lower cost of living than in London with access to all of London’s amenities
  • A fast and easy commute into London
