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
Join us for the Property launch on Thursday 16th July and Saturday 17th July from 2.30pm.
A beautifully presented two double bedroom, split-level Victorian conversion moments from Hackney Downs Park, spanning over 770 sq ft.
Having been lovingly refurbished by the current owner, the apartment now blends period charm and contemporary finish, featuring wooden parquet flooring, classic sash windows and excellent built-in storage.
Sold with a share of freehold and no onward chain, it’s an easy move-in-ready home.
Boasting a bright reception room perfect for lounging and dining, separate fully fitted kitchen with view of the rear gardens, well finished stylish bathroom suite.
The top floor offers the principle bedroom with fantastic bespoke fitted wardrobes and a 2nd spacious double bedroom- both quiet and serene.
Set on Clarence Road between Hackney Downs Park and Clapton Square, you’re perfectly placed for green space, weekend picnics and tennis courts at the Downs, as well as the leafy garden square vibe of Clapton.
Lower Clapton Road and Clarence Road offer a thriving local scene of independents: Lodestar Cafe for brunch, Uchi for Japanese plates, Casey’s Bakery for fresh loaves and pastries, The Star by Hackney Downs for a great local pub, and Moyletts for neighbourhood dining.
Broadway Market, the Hackney Empire, and the canals of Hackney Marshes and Millfields Park are within easy reach, making this a standout home in one of Hackney’s most sought-after enclaves.
Hackney Downs and Clapton stations are around half a mile away for quick links to Liverpool Street and the Victoria line interchange, with frequent buses into the City and Shoreditch.
Secure cycle routes and bike-friendly streets add to the effortless connectivity. EPC Rating: C
