Advice on moving to new area and secondary

Help hubbie has a job offer in a completely new area too far to commute. We currently live in Cumbria and DS is in year 7 and is very happy at a local grammar school and DD in year 6 has a place at a secondary school with a good reputation for September. I contacted the LEA and apparently most of the good schools are already over subscribed so their seems little point moving to an area in the catchment area of a good school if their are no places. Any advice appreciated I don't want to consider a move if the children's school situation is so uncertain and I could end up with both children in a new area in a big city at totally different schools.
