The new school year is underway for over 10 million children across England and Wales, and school catchments rate highly for many choosing a home.
An analysis of property sales across England and Wales (excluding London) reveals a 17% price premium associated to homes close to an outstanding secondary school, with a 10% premium for homes close to an outstanding primary school.
