Do houses close to the best performing schools cost more?
Yes according to research released this week by the Department of Education.
According to the report 'The average home in England cost £233,000 in July 2016. If the average home were in an area close to one of the 10% best performing schools, this is holding other factors constant, £15,800 higher when close to one of the bestperforming secondary schools and £18,600higher near the best performing primary schools'
This reiterates earlier reports.
in 2016 Lloyds Bank research found that the parents they surveyed were prepared to pay £53,000 to live near a 'top school'.
In 2015 the Telegraph published a map prepared by Savills which showed where the top schools were causing house prices to rise.
