Research from leading London lettings and estate agent, Benham and Reeves, has revealed that West London still provides the best option for foreign buyers looking to purchase near a top school<\/a> for their children.<\/p>\n

Benham and Reeves analysed the property market around the best primary and secondary schools in London, based on sold price data from the UK Land Registry.<\/p>\n

The research shows that on average, buying in a postcode home to a top primary school comes with the property price tag of just over \u00a31m, while a property close to one of London\u2019s best secondary schools will cost \u00a3774,447 on average. <\/p>\n

However, West London provides the best opportunity for foreign buyers when looking for a property within close proximity of a great school. <\/p>\n

12 out of the top 20 London primary schools are located within the West and South West postcode districts, while seven of the top 20 secondary schools are also located in these areas. These postcodes primarily cover the areas of West London that have become extremely popular amongst international buyers such as Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Wandsworth, Barnes and Chiswick. <\/p>\n

State Primary Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SW17 and SW15 postcodes which sit either side of Wimbledon are home to two of the capital\u2019s best primary state schools with the most affordable property prices. St Anselm\u2019s Catholic Primary School in Tooting Bec\u2019s SW17 postcode is home to an average property price of just \u00a3581,582, the most affordable of all London\u2019s top primary schools. <\/p>\n

In the nearby SW15 postcode, the average price of property surrounding St Mary\u2019s CofE Primary School is also one of the most affordable in London at \u00a3619,314. <\/p>\n

At the other end of the scale, Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School in Marylebone\u2019s W1H postcode is home to the highest property price tag at \u00a31,996,964, with Fox Primary School in Kensington\u2019s W8 postcode also costing nearly \u00a31.7m. <\/p>\n

Private Primary Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most affordable postcode to purchase a property close to one of London\u2019s top private primary schools is the W5 postcode in Ealing with an average price of \u00a3628,311. The SW4 and SW6 postcodes also present some of the most affordable property price tags near to top private primary schools at \u00a3646,020 and \u00a3849,725 respectively. <\/p>\n

The most prestigious property postcode for a top London private primary school is SW7. The postcode is home to both the Falkner House and Glendower schools with an average house price of \u00a31.95m.<\/p>\n

State Secondary Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to the top state secondary schools, international buyers have to look a little further afield. North West London\u2019s Hampstead NW11 postcode is home to the Henrietta Barnett School for girls (\u00a3899,053), while Barnet\u2019s EN5 postcode is home to the Queen Elizabeth School for boys and separate high-ranking girls school, with an average property price of just \u00a3557,727. All of these schools are in the UK top 10 top schools league table and are extremely popular choices for Hong Kong families. <\/p>\n

State Private Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

West London is, however, home to an abundance of top private secondary schools with three located the W6<\/a> postcode alone. <\/p>\n

With an average house price of \u00a3810,269, it\u2019s one of the best places for foreign buyers purchasing property with an eye on their child\u2019s education with St Paul\u2019s Girls\u2019 School, Godolphin & Latymer and Latymer Upper school all located within an arm\u2019s reach. <\/p>\n

\"Devonshire
Devonshire House Prep, NW3 (IND Prep)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Westminster School in Buckingham Palace\u2019s SW1 postcode is home to the highest property prices of all London\u2019s best private secondaries with an average price of over \u00a31.3m. Other locations where there are excellent private schools offering a villagey lifestyle are Hampstead<\/a> and Mill Hill<\/a>, both with some top performing schools and a good mix of family houses and brand new homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Managing Director of Benham and Reeves, Anita Mehra, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWest London continues to rank as the top hotspot for foreign buyers when it comes to living within close proximity to an outstanding primary or secondary school. <\/p>\n

Buyers from Hong Kong, in particular, continue to show strong interest in these areas of London despite other areas such as Shoreditch and Nine Elms growing in popularity. This comes as no surprise, given the fact there are no less than 19 outstanding schools all located within the same two postcode districts. As a result, investing in a property in this area almost guarantees that you will be within walking distance of your chosen school and, if not, it will be a short journey via pubic transport or car.\u201d <\/p>\n

Benham and Reeves are perfectly positioned to help Hong Kong investors buy London property<\/a>, and can help them to identify the best opportunity for them and their personal situation. Benham and Reeves opened their Hong Kong office in 1995 with a locally employed team of multi-lingual professionals who can speak Mandarin, Cantonese and of course English. Some of Benhams Hong Kong clients have been with the agent for 20+ years and now use them to identify the best investments for their children\u2019s future, whether it be near their chosen school or university, or for working and living in London later. If you wish to discuss any current property opportunities near the best London schools, please contact Benham and Reeves Hong Kong office<\/a>.<\/p>\n
