Last week, Leone and Amanda were delighted to attend the Council-run Landlord Event at Watford Town Hall, bringing together local landlords, letting agents, and housing professionals for an informative and engaging session.
The event opened with a welcome and presentation from Watford’s Mayor, Peter Taylor, who highlighted the ongoing commitment of the Council to improving housing standards and supporting landlords across the borough.
Following this, the Watford Housing Team delivered an insightful talk focusing on damp and mould issues — a particularly timely topic as Awaab’s Law comes into effect. This legislation reinforces the responsibility of landlords and agents to take swift and effective action in addressing damp and mould concerns, ensuring tenants live in safe, healthy homes.

Autumn is a season of change — and the Watford property market is no exception. At Harry Charles Estate Agents, we’re noticing an encouraging uptick in buyer activity this season. If you’ve been considering selling your home, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the autumn market.
Autumn Buyer Activity

This month, Harry Charles Estate Agents explores the beautifully quaint village of Flaunden, one of Hertfordshire’s hidden gems. Nestled among the rolling hills and leafy countryside between the Chalfonts and Bovingdon, Flaunden offers the kind of peace and charm you’d expect from a postcard-perfect English village—with chocolate-box cottages, breathtaking scenery, and a wonderfully close-knit community.
🌿 A Countryside Retreat with Urban Convenience
Despite its tranquil setting, Flaunden is remarkably well-connected. The thriving towns of Watford and Hemel Hempstead are just a short drive away, offering shopping centres, rail connections, and all the urban amenities you might need. Nearby villages such as Sarratt, Bovingdon, Chorleywood, and Chesham add to the charm and convenience, making Flaunden a perfect choice for those wanting rural beauty with access to city life.
🍽️ Village Pubs with a Twist
Flaunden is proud to be home to two standout pubs:
-
The Green Dragon – A historic country inn that’s as cosy as it is characterful, serving authentic Italian pizzas and local ales.
-
The Bricklayers Arms – An award-winning pub with fine dining credentials. The chef has been awarded two Michelin Stars, making it a true destination for food lovers.
These pubs are more than just places to eat—they’re community hubs and ideal for relaxing after a countryside walk.
