Not sure where else to put this - hoping someone will know if this is generally ok or not.
We live in the South East in a city with great state schools, but I cocked up when buying our house a few years ago in that it is not really in catchment for any of those secondary schools (we'd get into a single sex school or a faith school, neither of which would be appropriate for our DC).
Ideally we would sell current house and move closer to the secondaries we want, but given how things are with the market etc I'm worried we wouldn't be able to accomplish this in time for school applications. I'm therefore making contingencies in case we find a house we like but can't sell existing one quickly enough
I know it isn't on to rent a school in catchment and continue to own a house nearby. Does anyone know what the typical rule is if you overlap - ie rent out the existing owned house to tenants and move into a new owned property (in catchment)?. Thanks.
