Sixteen minutes to central London, a short walk from the mainline station
A mixed-use regeneration beside one of Hertfordshire's principal mainline stations has created a new residential quarter of premium apartments, arranged around landscaped squares and public open space with ground-floor commercial and retail. Homes are delivered across two phases, the first already complete and the second finishing in late 2027, with triple-glazed doors opening onto private balconies and terraces, quartz kitchen worktops and hotel-style shared amenities including a gymnasium, screening room, business lounge and 24-hour concierge. The station is a four-minute walk, with ten trains an hour reaching central London in sixteen minutes. The town is consistently ranked among the best places to live and work outside London and has GBP 1.5 billion of regeneration investment underway. It suits income-focused buyers targeting outer-London commuter demand.
Reservation fee: £2,500 (studio/1-bed) or £5,000 (2/3-bed). Exchange within 21 days. Union Court: 10% on exchange (minus reservation) | 90% on completion. Dart House: 10% on exchange (minus reservation) | further 10% at 12 months | 80% on completion (Sep 2027).
Why This Opportunity
The mainline station is a four-minute walk, with ten trains an hour reaching central London in only sixteen minutes. From there the principal rail interchange is a minute further, the West End two minutes and the City ten, putting the whole capital within easy daily reach.
The town is consistently ranked at or near the top of national vitality indices measuring the best places to live and work outside London. GBP 1.5 billion of regeneration investment is underway, supporting an active independent restaurant scene and major retail.
Averaged forecasts from three major agencies point to 16.4% cumulative price growth for prime outer-London property between 2024 and 2028. The area has already outperformed London with 5.3% growth over four years, and rental growth forecasts reach up to 7.7% a year.
More than one million jobs sit inside a 30-minute commute radius. A major international film studio complex two miles away is undergoing a significant expansion, adding ten new sound stages and 400,000 sq ft of production space and driving further employment growth.
