Home Survey Services for Hertford Properties
Hertford is the historic county town of Hertfordshire, set at the confluence of four rivers — the Lea, Beane, Mimram and Rib. Its property market is wonderfully diverse, spanning medieval and Tudor buildings near Fore Street and Parliament Square, elegant Georgian townhouses, substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas in Bengeo, inter-war semis and detached homes, and modern developments including the Kingsmead urban extension. The town centre is rich in listed buildings and conservation areas. The underlying geology is chalk overlain with river gravels along the valley floors, which can present drainage and ground movement considerations.
