One of the top concerns that many families have when moving to Huddersfield is finding the right school for their children. Many home moves are explicitly made so that families can move closer to the catchment area of their dream school.

But what happens if you find your dream house first and then need to find the best school close by?

As your local estate agent, we know the Huddersfield area exceptionally well and receive so many questions about this that we decided to give you our best advice to help keep you informed. In this article, you’ll find our top tips to help you find the right school for your children when moving to Huddersfield.

When you buy anything, whether it’s a new home, a new car or a new item of clothing, of course you want to know you’re getting the best deal, and so can be confident in your purchase. Sometimes, it’s even worth paying a little more to be sure your investment is right!

Buying a property in Huddersfield is likely to be one of the biggest investments you will ever make, therefore, spending a little more and instructing a Homebuyer Survey on the property you are looking to buy can help protect you from a bad investment and can even give you greater negotiating power.

Take important steps to make your dream move in Huddersfield come true

So you’ve found the house of your dreams in Huddersfield. It’s on the right side of town, near a good school, parks are close by and your commute to work has been cut. Perfect. You know roughly when you’ll be moving and you’ve already started thinking about colour schemes and furniture.

But then…. You’re busy making big plans and you get a call from the solicitor who is handling your purchase. It’s a bombshell – your dream is shattered because the house move has fallen through.

To be honest, it’s heartbreaking. And while it doesn’t happen all the time, it does occur. According to recent research*, just under a quarter of house sales in England and Wales “fell through” before completion in 2019.

So, it is certainly something to be aware of. But, did you know there are things you can do to help reduce the risk of a house sale falling through?

Relax. You're well protected.
