How the North Ascot school map prices each street
Concentrated demand is what a price premium actually is.
The local benchmark is £700,000 and a detached home averages £665,000.
No school in the immediate area currently holds an Outstanding rating. That removes the sharpest premium and widens your search across Berkshire.

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.
