Named for the Eleanor Cross that still stands in its town centre, Waltham Cross is one of the most affordable entry points into the London commuter belt, 25 minutes to Liverpool Street with house prices well below the North London average. First-time buyers make up a large share of our clients here.
We guide first purchases step by step: explaining searches in plain English, coordinating mortgage lender requirements, and dealing with Broxbourne Borough Council, the Hertfordshire authority that covers the town.
