While the number of homes sold during lockdown were at an all-time low due to coronavirus restrictions during the peak, you may be interested to see some of the houses sold.
Data from the Land Registry showing all property sales in England and Wales, showed the houses sold in Watford and surrounding areas between April and June.
The lockdown was officially imposed in the UK by March 23. During the height of the lockdown, people were advised to delay house moves. Rules also prevented in-person house viewings.
From May 13, estate agents in England could conduct viewings, but this was not enough to boost house sales in June – with just one house sold within the area that month.
Data for July has not been released yet by the Government, but it is understood there has been a boom of sales since with Rightmove reporting more than £37 billion worth of property sales within the UK in July.
But it may interest you to know just what houses (out of the few sold) were actually sold during the peak of lockdown.
So we have listed the most expensive and least expensive properties sold within specific areas between April and June.

24 Breakspeare Road, WD5 0EP
Price sold for: £190,000.
While specific details about the property is not available, the house was sold mid April 2020. This means that the most expensive property sold in Abbots Langley during lockdown went for more than half of the house at Breakspeare Road.
