Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CM23: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 43 homes a month change hands in CM23, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are selling, the £254,750 to £727,500 range is where most CM23 sales landed, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; roughly 43 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, CM23 is well above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (2,022 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,455 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Prices are only part of the picture: the free CM23 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools, and the Report says which deserve your attention.

These are East Hertfordshire's charges for 2026-27, the authority CM23 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CM23 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 7 to decile 10, with a median of decile 10 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CM23 3FS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 10 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so CM23 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CM23: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CM23, band by band
East Hertfordshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CM23 median sold price of £420,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearEast Hertfordshire | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £420,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,637 | £136 | 0.39% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,909 | £159 | 0.45% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,182 | £182 | 0.52% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,455 | £205 | 0.58% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,000 | £250 | 0.71% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,546 | £296 | 0.84% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,910 | £409 | 1.17% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CM23 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
