They came to me confident.
But when we first mapped their 1km, they were shocked. 80% of the schools around their existing flat needed a ballot. They were comfortable where they were — no urgency, no reason on paper to move. But comfortable and safe aren’t the same thing when you’re this close to registration.
We found a different path. A school affiliated all the way through to JC, and a Phase 2B entry that required no ballot at all. Had they stayed put, they’d have been balloting in Phase 2B too — just for a different school, with far less certainty.
The move did more than solve the school question. It placed them in an area poised for future growth potential under the government’s 2025 masterplan, so the decision wasn’t just about where their child gets in now. It was about where their equity sits years from now, when they’re ready to exit.
That’s the part people miss. A school move and a property move aren’t two separate decisions. Done right, they’re the same decision.
