The honest verdict
Inkberrow is cheaper to buy on these figures. Broadway carries the higher price and, on this data, the stronger school profile.
Neither is right in the abstract. If the deposit is your constraint, the £6,000 difference matters more than anything else here. If catchment is the constraint, price follows the school you need.
