We are hoping to re-locate soon to Cambridgeshire. We have a mortgage in principle, are currently renting and have found a couple of villages we like the look of. We don't know much about the areas but have asked questions on the local boards.
Property is quite sparse and expensive so not loads of choice, however, I have found some to take a look at. Problem is, we don't know the order to do things. We have two DC's (7 and 4). DC 2 is due to start school next September and for obvious reasons we would like them to attend the same school and for for it to be a good school.
One of the properties we like is in the catchment for a few schools, the best of which was over subscribed last year. The nearest school in catchment was under subscribed but had an ofsted score of 3. Which order should we do things? Buy a house and hope to get them (both) in the better school? Any advice much appreciated.
