Property Solvers analysed Land Registry data from 2016 onwards to reach their conclusions, ranking all transactions within postcodes that had three or more sales.

Park Avenue North came out on top with an average price of £3,388,333 – not surprising, given that 55 Park Avenue North was the second most expensive residential sale in Hertfordshire during 2020, changing hands for £5m.

Hammondswick was next up, with an average sale price of £2,526,250. The West Common cul-de-sac's most substantial sale was back in 2020, when Burleigh House, 1 The Hammonds changed hands for £3,830,000, making it the ninth most expensive sale in Hertfordshire that year.
