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. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.
The detail behind the Lennoxtown numbers

The full local guide covers schools, transport and the market in detail: Lennoxtown property and area guide.
| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | Good schools in the wider East Dunbartonshire system, hill walking and green space, and value, check catchments (the catchment secondaries are in Kirkintilloch); a strong family option under the Campsies. |
| Outdoors & walking lovers | ★★★★★ | The Campsie Fells rise directly behind the village, with the Crow Road over to Fintry and Campsie Glen a short walk, genuinely superb hill walking and scenery on the doorstep. |
| Glasgow commuters | ★★★★☆ | A Glasgow commute via the nearby station at Lenzie (direct to the city in around 20 minutes), plus the A803 and A81, a solid city link at more affordable prices than Bearsden or Milngavie, though the station is a short journey away. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★★☆ | Flats, terraces and older cottages are among the more accessible in East Dunbartonshire, and on the more affordable homes the LBTT nil-rate band (£175,000 for first-time buyers) means many pay no purchase tax. |
| Property developers & investors | ★★★☆☆ | More affordable stock than the affluent towns and steady demand from Glasgow commuters and families support buy-to-let, check yields, any factoring and the commute from the village. |
