by Nigel Cox
Borehamwood, a lively town in Hertfordshire, offers a range of properties, from 1930s semi-detached houses and period homes to modern apartments and newly built developments. The older properties, particularly those near the town centre or along quieter residential streets, may come with challenges such as maintaining period features, aging roof structures, or the need for updates to plumbing and electrical systems. Newer homes, especially those in more recent developments, may require checks to ensure they meet all current expectations.
