The lowest priced streets in Harpenden


Due to the overwhelming popularity of our post yesterday regarding the highest priced properties in Harpenden, we thought we'd take a balanced view and look at the other end of the scale and see which are the lowest priced streets in the town.

Interestingly, while a fair proportion of these homes seem to fall in the Westfield and Batford area, there are some surprisingly good value properties in areas such as Reed Place, Loire Mews and Croft Court. Needless to say, many of these properties will be flats and apartments and on the smaller side, but the figures show that you don't need to be a millionaire to own a home in one of Hertfordshire's most affluent towns.

Another good statistic to note is that currently, flats and apartments make up just over 19% of the available housing stock in Harpenden, and of the total available stock 80% is owner occupied so if you're looking to buy in the area, you may need some patience and the ability to move quickly, but if you're happy to play the waiting game you might just be able to snap up a reasonably priced property in a great area.

In other welcome news, your stamp duty tax bill for buying one of these would be between £850 and £2037, which is quite a bit more palatable than the clobbering you'd be getting for buying on Park Avenue South!
