Pay private school fees or move house? You do the maths
Quoting Louise Ridings and Emma Barkes of Stacks Property Finders
Stacks Property Search in the East Midlands, says that the rise is “putting pressure on the best state schools, with property prices near oversubscribed schools such as the Priory Academy LSST in Lincoln, and the Kesteven and Grantham Girl’s grammar school, where Margaret Thatcher was a pupil, rising 10 per cent last year.”
Emma Barkes of Stacks Property Search says that homes near grammar schools also come with inflated price tags. “Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire has three grammars,” she says. “Property within a sensible commute is in high demand. Parents will also invest in private tuition from 11-plus age to secure places for their children.”

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
