    Homes Near Top Scottish Schools Command £73K Price Premium

    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOMES NEAR TOP SCOTTISH SCHOOLS COMMAND £73K PRICE PREMIUM Parents pay a premium of almost £73,000 (36%) on average compared to average house prices across Scotland Average property prices have reached £277,134 near Scotland’s top 20 state secondary schools Parents need to pay an average of £72,973 more to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school in Scotland, according to new research from Bank of Scotland showing that average prices in these areas have now reached £277,134. Home buyers are paying, on average, a premium of over a third (36%) when compared to houses in surrounding areas (£204,162). This is a significantly higher premium than last year, when the top 20 Scottish state schools were commanding a comparatively smaller premium of £41,441 on average or 22% more than other properties within the same local authority. This difference is due to a change in the mix of schools in the top 20 in the past year – with a number of new schools in relatively more expensive areas in the latest survey. New entrants such as Hyndland Secondary School in Glasgow and James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh have driven up the average premium costing an average of 76% and 69% respectively than other homes in the same local authorities – topping the table in first and second position as the most expensive school catchments. There are six new entrants to the top 20 schools this year, all of which fall within the top 10 most expensive school catchments.
