A small market town with a regulated lawyer close by
At the 2021 census Ampthill had 8,825 residents, and the town sits on the A507 between the M1 and the A6, with Houghton House and the Capability Brown landscape of Ampthill Park on its doorstep. Many people we help from here are couples bringing a partner to the UK, parents with older children at Redborne Upper School, and professionals who have lived in the area long enough to think about settling.
The old Ampthill station closed in 1959, so there is no train straight into the town, but Flitwick station is about a mile and a half away. Most clients from Ampthill simply drive up to Ford End Road for a face-to-face meeting, and anyone who would rather stay at home can use a phone or video slot for the same price.
