School Catch
For estate agents

Catchment and costs on every listing. One widget.

Buyers see which schools a home is in, and what it costs to buy, before they pick up the phone. Drop it in once and it works across every listing.

The problem

Catchment sells homes, but listings stay quiet about it.

01

It drives the decision

For families, catchment can be one of the deciding factors in whether a property is worth viewing.

02

Listings rarely state it

And when they do, it's a half-remembered school name with no boundary behind it. Buyers can't trust it.

03

So the calls come to you

Agents field the same catchment question on every viewing, and buyers self-select out late once they finally check.

The widget

It reads the postcode and price, and fills itself in.

No data entry per property. The widget resolves the listing's postcode and price, shows the in-catchment primary and secondary schools, and works out what the home costs to buy, all in one place.

  • Auto-resolves from the listing postcode and price
  • In-catchment primary and secondary, linked to the full school page
  • Monthly payment, move-in cost and income needed

The cost panel

The next question a buyer asks, answered on the listing.

Once a buyer likes the schools, they want to know if the numbers work. The panel turns the asking price into a monthly payment, the cash needed to move in (deposit, LBTT and fees) and the income a lender would typically want, and benchmarks it against the typical home in that council area. It runs on MortgageLens, whose wider toolkit covers affordability, stamp duty (LBTT), overpayment, remortgage and buy-to-let.

  • Monthly payment from the asking price
  • Benchmarked against the local council median price
  • Move-in cost with Scottish LBTT built in
  • Buyers can adjust deposit, rate and term live

Why it works

Answers the big questions

The two things buyers weigh on every family home, the schools and whether they can afford it, are already on the listing.

A real selling point

An in-catchment result for a sought-after school, with a monthly payment a buyer can picture, is a genuine reason to view.

Fewer wasted enquiries

Buyers who need a different catchment, or for whom the numbers don't work, rule themselves out before they book.

Official data, lower risk

Catchment comes from the official Spatial Hub dataset and the costs from Scottish LBTT bands, which keeps every claim defensible.

How to add it

One snippet per listing, or one integration for all of them.

Paste a single embed on a listing template and every property picks it up from its postcode and price. For portals and larger agencies, a server-side integration auto-populates across the whole site. Works alongside the common CMS and portal setups.

  • Drop-in embed for a listing template
  • Portal-level integration to populate everything at once
  • Compatible with common listing CMS and portal feeds

Why it's trusted

Every figure is drawn from official, openly licensed public data and refreshed when each source updates.

See every source

Catchment areas come from the council's published boundary and can change, so always confirm the current catchment with the local authority before relying on it. Cost figures are estimates based on the asking price and current LBTT bands, and are not financial advice.
