Catchment is not a promise
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.

| Professionals near Heathrow | ★★★★☆ | Ideal for airport, airline and West London professionals wanting a village base with fast links. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★☆☆ | Relatively low RBWM council tax helps, but Thames flood risk can raise insurance and complicate mortgages on riverside homes. |
