Do outstanding schools actually skyrocket house prices?

As the record breaking hot summer holidays come to an end, families are busy preparing for the back to school season. Every day nearly 4.7 million primary school children undertake the school run, with 2.5 million of those walking to their local school.

Across England and Wales properties sold within a 10 minute walk of an outstanding primary school attract a 17.8% price premium, the equivalent of £51,688!

The premium is highest across the East of England and South East, where properties can sell for as much as £70,000 more than the average property price.
