Demand for homes near top state primary schools is rising sharply, especially amid changes to VAT on private school fees. If you are thinking of moving for strategic reasons bear this in mind:

Key Highlights:

Average selling time for homes near England’s top 20 primary schools is 160 days.
Average property price in these areas: £835,574, over double the national average (£373,847).
Some top school areas like Fox Primary (London) and Barnes Primary (London) have average home prices exceeding £1.4 million.

Advice for Parents:

Plan ahead: Sale times vary by as much as 3.5 months depending on the school’s location.
Move quickly: In fast-selling catchments, hesitation can cost you the school place.
Consider cash-buying services for a quicker sale to secure your spot.
