Over the past few years, Borehamwood has quietly become one of the most desirable relocation hotspots for people leaving London. Borehamwood has a perfect blend of space, value, convenience and community. It also offers a lifestyle upgrade without sacrificing the buzz they have been used to living in the city. At L&H Residential, we’ve seen a significant rise in enquiries from London buyers looking to make the move.
1. More Space for Your Money Compared to London
One of the biggest reasons people move from London to areas like Borehamwood is that they can keep easy access to London for work. Still, when it comes to the property you live in, you can afford a lot more space as your budget stretches much further than it would if residing in London.
Borehamwood offers a variety of different types of property from newbuild one-bedroom flats to family-style semi-detached houses to Bungalows and even substantial detached houses. There is something for everyone: professional singles, elderly couples and growing families.
2. A Commuter’s Dream
Although Borehamwood seems much leafier and suburban compared to London, it is still incredibly close to London. You can jump on the train at Elstree & Borehamwood train station, which is on the Thameslink Line, and get to major cities in London swiftly.
