Revealed: The cheapest places to buy property in Hatfield
Most of Hatfield's affordable addresses are within easy reach of the town centre. - Credit: Archant
Hatfield may be more affordable than the likes of Harpenden and St Albans, but its property prices remain out of reach for many.
The most expensive addresses in AL9 and AL10 are by no means the norm, however, and Hatfield also has plenty of modestly-priced homes.
Using Land Registry data for the five years to June 2021 – excluding retirement properties and addresses with fewer than three transactions – we can reveal the most inexpensive parts of Hatfield to call home...

With Hatfield Swim Centre at one end and the Royal Mail sorting office at the other, The Common is a busy town centre address within close proximity of most amenities.

4. Wordsworth Court
Wordsworth Court is located off Middlefield. - Credit: Google Street View
Located at the end of Middlefield, this block of one, two and three-bed flats has seen three sales averaging £173,650 in the five years to June 2021.
The most substantial sale at the town centre development so far was last June, when a three-bed property changed hands for £275,000, having sold for £212,500 less than two years prior.
