Research conducted by the UK estate agent Yopa reveals that homes located near top state secondary schools in the UK command an average premium of £40,574, or about 11%, compared to properties in the broader local authority areas.

The study highlights significant regional variations, with Bishop Vesey’s grammar school in Sutton Coldfield showing the highest premium, while certain areas like Reading show exceptions to the trend.
