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 | ★★★★☆ | A characterful town with an Outstanding-rated all-through college (Midhurst Rother) and a Good village primary at Easebourne, check catchment; the town primary's latest report flags areas to review. |
| Downsizers | ★★★★☆ | History, independent shops and National Park countryside make it a lovely place to settle, with everyday amenities on hand, though prices are above average. |
| Commuters (London) | ★★☆☆☆ | No station, you drive to Haslemere (direct London Waterloo) or Chichester, so the commute is a real trade-off to weigh. |
| Country & second-home buyers | ★★★★★ | The Cowdray estate, the polo and the South Downs National Park setting give genuine cachet and beauty, a strong draw for those wanting a rural retreat. |
| First-time buyers | ★★☆☆☆ | Above-average prices; flats and cottages are the more accessible way in, but choice at the entry level is limited. |
