The county average is £203,333. Schools in Wales are inspected by Estyn rather than Ofsted, so there are no Ofsted grades; check individual inspection reports. School quality is the main reason prices differ between towns a few miles apart.
A 10% deposit on the county average is £20,333. Mold runs 23% above that average, so the same deposit reaches further in Shotton.
