Phew i did not want to offend anyone but seeing as the door is open .....
Hoddesdon would be the last place i would want to live beaton only in to second place by Harlow!!
Ware is pretty good and does have some cheaper places, i would look at the vicarage road estate.
Not really to sure on the traffic front to get to work in the morning, i can say that it is pants trying to get through Hertford in the mornings (big bottle neck).
Buntingford may be another place to look at as the bypass is now open so it is dual carriage way all the way now. May also be worth looking at Puckeridge and Standon.
