Why an in catchment listing can still miss
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. An Outstanding judgement can be several years old, and inspections since September 2024 report differently. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★★ | An exceptional cluster of schools (Reed's, ACS Cobham, Notre Dame, plus the state Cobham Free School), greenery and low crime. |
| Commuters (to London) | ★★★★☆ | Direct South Western Railway to Waterloo in ~40 to 45 min, plus the A3 and M25 (J10), though the station sits ~1.5 miles out at Stoke d'Abernon. |
| Downsizers | ★★★★☆ | A smart, walkable high street and prestige address suit downsizers staying local, though prices are high and larger flats scarce. |
| First-time buyers | ★★☆☆☆ | A very strong premium, KT11 averages well over £1m; flats near £600k are the only realistic way in. |
| Professionals | ★★★★★ | Prestige, fast London links, top schools and quick Heathrow/Gatwick access make Cobham a natural fit for high earners. |
