Four postcode groups cover this stretch of the commuter belt, and the towns inside them were not built at the same time or in the same way. Some were laid out whole – a garden city, a post-war new town, streets finished to one drawing within a generation. Others grew slowly around a market place older than all of it.
Planned towns brought concrete ground floors and a repeating layout: neighbours share a build period, so what is found under one house is a fair guide to the next, and one specification can run through a whole managed street. Purpose-built blocks sit on slabs under a lease that sets the acoustic minimum. The older cores keep boards over joists, and no two alike.
Across Hertfordshire we deliver to AL1, AL3, AL7, AL8, HP1, HP2, HP3, SG1, SG2, SG4, SG5, WD17, WD18, WD19, WD23, WD24 and WD25, covering 6 towns.
At the 2021 census, the share of households in a terraced house ranged from 20.0% in St Albans to 46.1% in Stevenage; the share living in a flat, maisonette or apartment ranged from 20.0% in North Hertfordshire to 36.5% in Watford; home ownership ranged from 55.1% in Watford to 70.9% in St Albans.
