Reasons to Move To Cheshunt

Without being biased, we love Cheshunt and we think if you knew about the area, you would too! Last year it was named the best place for London commuters to live and we couldn’t possibly disagree!

The town has plenty of entertainment for its 50,000 population to enjoy, without the hefty price tag that many areas of the London commuter belt have attracted.


Transport

If you work in London, or simply fancy a visit you’ll be pleased to know you can get to central London by car in around an hour or top on a train and get to Liverpool Street in just 25 minutes. If it is the rest of the UK you want to visit, you’ll be pleased to know that both the A1 and the M25 are close by. Fancy jetting off somewhere? London Heathrow and London City Airport are nearby and you can reach Stansted airport in as little as 34 minutes using The Stansted Express!


Education

If you’re looking for a family home then local education options are important. There are over thirty primary schools nearby, with four of them achieving an Ofsted rating of Outstanding. Secondary education also offers several options, with two schools being rated Good by Ofsted. There is also a handful of schools for children with learning difficulties that have been rated Outstanding by Ofsted.


 
Entertainment

There is so much to do in Cheshunt that you can be sure there is something for everyone. The immediate area is full of countryside and you’re just a short distance from London if you something more exciting to do. If you fancy seeing some of the local countryside you could head to River Lee Country Park (it has loads of water activities you can take part in) or Broxbourne Wood National Nature Reserve! If you’re looking for something indoors to take part in then the Laura Trott Leisure Centre has lots to do too!
Brookfield Shopping Park has loads of high street shops on offer and there are plans for a massive refurbishment in the pipeline too!

Feeling Safe

On average, compared to the rest of the UK crime rates in Cheshunt are lower, with Cheshunt West particularly low! There are many neighbourhood watch schemes and Safer Neighbourhood Teams in place which helps to keep the area safe.
These are just a few of the reasons we think Cheshunt is a great place to live. If you want to know more or have any questions please get in touch!

The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.

Buying a home can feel easier when you know your budget, priorities and next steps. With mortgage costs still influencing decisions, preparation is one of the biggest advantages buyers have.
