We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
No Onward Chain - Light & Airy Ground Floor Flat with 16ft Lock-Up Garage – Prime Southend Location Situated in the heart of Southend on Quebec Avenue, just moments from the high street, mainline station, bus terminal and a vast array of shops and amenities, this newly decorated ground floor flat offers bright, low-maintenance living in an exceptionally convenient setting.
The accommodation extends to approximately 377 sq ft and is well arranged across a single level, ideal for downsizers, first-time buyers or those seeking an easy, manageable layout.
High ceilings and a bay-fronted reception room add character and enhance the sense of space, all within an attractive period building.
A real highlight — and a rare advantage in this central location — is the private 16ft lock-up garage to the rear (4.95m x 2.51m) .
Secure and generously proportioned, it provides invaluable parking or storage space and is a significant asset so close to the town centre and transport links.
Further benefits include: Modern combi boiler (approx.
2 years old and under guarantee) Full double glazing for warmth and efficiency Residents’ permit parking available at a small annual fee Extremely low outgoings: £50 per year ground rent and £500 per year service charge (including buildings insurance) 60/61 years remaining on the lease With anticipated changes to leasehold legislation in the pipeline, this could present a timely opportunity to secure a centrally located property at a price reflective of the current lease term, with potential longer-term upside.
Offering a light, airy feel, minimal upkeep and unbeatable convenience — combined with the rare benefit of a secure garage — this is a smart purchase in a highly accessible town centre setting.
