If you are new to Watford you will soon find out that there are vast differences between areas. South Oxhey for example is a large estate of mainly ex council houses albeit convenient to Carpenders Park station, whereas The Cassiobury estate consists of larger semi and detached homes in a nice setting close to Cassiobury Park and Watford's Met Line station.
Watford Borough Council provide help and information on their website and you may take a look by clicking here.
You no doubt know your budget and when searching for a property it will help if you can confidently say to estate agents what your limit is, apart from what you are looking for. They will probably take you more seriously and no spend too much time trying to point you in the direction of their mortgage advisor. You need them to find the right home for you, not to sell you other services.
First things first, sort out where you want to live and your financial arrangement.
You will also need a conveyancer and if you choose a local solicitor, and speak to him in advance, he may also help with local knowledge if you are from out of town.
