Watford High Street - house prices in the town have gone up in the last year.
House prices are on the rise across most of Hertfordshire.
The coronavirus pandemic has seen more people moving out of the capital to homes in the surrounding towns.
With freedom to work from home, potential buyers have been looking for more space and to get further away from the city.
Unsurprisingly, this has led to rising house prices in much of Hertfordshire.
In fact, the pandemic as a whole has not slowed the growth of house prices across the country.
