I am considering buying a house which is on the borderline for the furthest place allocation for an excellent school. The house is 1.04m away from the school. First round allocations in 2008-2011 extended to 0.9m, 1.0m, 1.11m and 1.07m. According the Good Schools guide that house was among the furthest, but within the allocation distance in 2006-2010.
I know this is not granted but surely the 2nd round (or post-1st round allocation) provides some safety net?
I spoke with one faith school and they had first round allocation at 5 miles at further allocations extend to 8.7m. This is not exactly comparable with a secular school, but still?
There is no other house to buy in the sight. Is this a big risk to take?

How far can admission distances extend after the initial allocation of places?
