House prices across Hertfordshire’s commuter towns are rising, with homeowners in Cuffley, Hertford, and Cheshunt enjoying renewed confidence in the local property market. Greenhill Estates, a trusted estate agent in Cuffley, reports that increased demand and limited supply are driving price growth across these highly sought-after communities. 

East Hertfordshire saw average house prices reach £445,000 in June 2025, up 5.4% compared to June 2024. The average price climbed to £450,000 for those relying on a mortgage, marking a 5.5% year-on-year rise.

Local Highlights: Cuffley, Hertford & Cheshunt 

Cuffley: While some granular data suggests that house prices per square metre in the EN6 4 area have seen a year-on-year decline (−5.7% nominal, −9.3% after inflation), Greenhill Estates emphasises that appeal remains strong for the most desirable properties in the village. The broader data for East Hertfordshire suggests an overall upward trend. As the leading estate agent in Cuffley, the firm is seeing strong buyer interest, particularly for period homes and those with good transport links.

Hertford: In the SG13 8 area, average prices per square metre have increased by 1.0% over the year, although real (inflation-adjusted) growth is slightly negative (−2.8%). The steady nominal rise reflects growing activity and renewed buyer confidence. 

Cheshunt: Recent figures show the average sold price over the last 12 months at around £411,482, although this marks a modest dip of 

approximately 3% from the previous year and 4% down on the 2022 peak of £427,102. Some earlier data indicated a 10% rise in prices over a similar period, suggesting short-term variability but sustained overall demand.
