The property is listed at £190,000, positioning it competitively within the local market. It presents several positive attributes: a desirable council tax band, commendable ratings for its location, environmental impact, and energy efficiency, alongside reasonable ongoing leasehold costs (service charge and ground rent) and a good standard of modernisation. These strengths suggest good value at its current price point.
However, the internal living space is average for the area, and its lease length, based on comparative ratings, appears less favorable, which are typical points for negotiation. While the absence of a private garden or dedicated parking is common among the properties analyzed, these are still factors for buyers. The valuation reflects these balanced characteristics. The lower band of our estimate considers potential adjustments due to the lease term and size, while the upper band acknowledges its strong appeal in other key areas, aligning it with similarly priced properties that may offer different advantages.
The property is on average £7,272 less expensive than similar properties in the area

Environmental Factors
Immediate vicinity to Hertford Castle and its extensive grounds, a major historical landmark providing excellent recreational space and attractive local scenery. This is a significant competitive advantage.
Direct proximity to the River Lea, offering pleasant riverside walks, recreational opportunities, and potential for scenic views. This enhances the desirability of the location.
Located on Maidenhead Street, a central and largely pedestrian-focused commercial street, offering excellent access to town centre amenities, cafes, and shops, contributing to a vibrant living experience.
Being on a pedestrianized/restricted traffic street means significantly less direct vehicular traffic noise and pollution compared to properties on arterial roads, a distinct advantage for urban living.
As a busy central commercial street, there is a high potential for ambient noise from pedestrians, shoppers, outdoor seating for cafes/restaurants, deliveries, and potentially evening social activities. This can be a disadvantage compared to quieter locations.
Depending on the specific apartment's orientation and floor, views might be directly onto the busy street or adjacent commercial properties, which could lack privacy or be less tranquil than desired.
