Hi guys,
Just throwing it out there to see whether it would make a difference to you. We recently bought a property and renovated it. This property is in a very desirable catchment area (primary school though). The catchment area has recently been tightened, meaning that some houses that used to be in the catchment area, are now outside of it.
I was just looking at some houses that have come on the market recently, and noticed that real estate agents still use "in xxx State School catchment area" as selling point, while I'm 100% sure these houses are not in the area.
Is this misleading? I know I would be pretty p-ed off if I found out after settlement that our house wouldn't have been in the catchment, but then again it should of course also be part of your own due diligence, if it matters to you. Should I make the RE agents aware of this?
