As the old saying goes: \u201cLocation, location, location!\u201d is a big part of what makes a property desirable (or undesirable). In this blog post, we\u2019ll be talking about an unexpected way in which your house price can be affected \u2013 school catchment areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">What&#039;s Included?<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#How_does_school_catchment_affect_my_house_price\" >How does school catchment affect my house price?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#Consider_whats_best_for_you\" >Consider what\u2019s best for you<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#What_if_I_dont_want_children\" >What if I don\u2019t want children?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#Choose_the_home_thats_right_for_you\" >Choose the home that\u2019s right for you<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/location\/how-school-catchment-areas-affect-your-house-price\/#Credit-Score_offers_two_fabulous_solutions\" >Credit-Score offers two fabulous solutions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_school_catchment_affect_my_house_price\"><\/span>How does school catchment affect my house price?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.check.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-buy-your-first-home-in-10-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As we have discussed previously<\/a>, much of what drives house prices is desirability, and many people want to make sure they\u2019re sending their children to a good school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around a quarter of people surveyed say they chose their home based on the quality of the nearest school. This makes sense for couples who are looking to start a family, or perhaps even already have a family \u2013 they want to ensure their children\u2019s future is secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catchment areas around Ofsted \u201cOutstanding\u201d schools drive up house prices quite significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the catchment area around the Ofsted \u201cOutstanding\u201d Altrincham Girls Grammar School in Greater Manchester, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/news\/greater-manchester-news\/altrincham-grammar-demand-homes-near-7038944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">house prices are on average 223% higher<\/a> than they are outside the catchment area. Outside the catchment area, a house might be \u00a3200,000, but inside the catchment area, a very similar house will be \u00a3446,000, over twice as expensive, simply because the location is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_whats_best_for_you\"><\/span><strong>Consider what\u2019s best for you<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a first-time home buyer, it\u2019s good to think about what your plans for your first home are, both long and short-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you buying with a partner? If so, are you planning to start a family with them? And if so, where would you like your children to be educated? Can you drive? If not, are you close to public transport links to get children to school? If so, what is the traffic like during the school rush? Can you ensure you can get your children to school punctually? What quality of education would you prefer your child receive? And can you budget for that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House prices are often astronomical around Ofsted \u201cOutstanding\u201d schools, but there will be many \u201cGood\u201d schools in your area. House prices around \u201cGood\u201d schools will be less than \u201cOutstanding\u201d, but still provide quality education. If you are dead set on your child going to an \u201cOutstanding\u201d school, you must account for the fact that it will very likely cost you far more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_I_dont_want_children\"><\/span><strong>What if I don\u2019t want children?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if you\u2019re not planning on having children, then you may be able to find cheaper housing within catchment areas. However, these will usually be smaller properties with less bedrooms and less space. It may be wiser to just avoid \u201cOutstanding\u201d catchment areas altogether in that case. As stated before, you can find similar housing outside catchment areas. Most property search websites will let you filter for homes near schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_home_thats_right_for_you\"><\/span><strong>Choose the home that\u2019s right for you<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, it\u2019s up to you to decide what\u2019s best for you and your future. Many first-time buyers will struggle to buy homes in \u201cOutstanding\u201d school catchment areas. While it\u2019s not impossible, you may have to compromise. The question is, do you value your long term financial health, or do you want to see your children go to the best schools? Every person draws their line in a different place. You will have to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desirability is one of the main drivers of house prices. Prices often differ wildly inside and outside school catchment areas. If you want your children to attend the best schools, you must be ready to pay the price. If you are happy for your children to attend good schools, or you do not plan to have children, then be sure to check catchment areas to assure you are not buying in areas of higher demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credit-Score_offers_two_fabulous_solutions\"><\/span>Credit-Score offers two fabulous solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re preparing to take a mortgage, never apply until you\u2019ve tried our unique and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/home.credit-score.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FREE Credit-Score Home app.<\/a>&nbsp;Our smart technology will tell you what you need to fix so you avoid rejection.
