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.

A glamorous cash buy and ideal investment with 9 years on the lease and 24/7 security, it’s quietly tucked away from vibrant bars and restaurants lining the quayside, and is just a short cab ride from the cultural heart of the city and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London.
The stylish, split level layout has an open plan living area which opens to the sunny balcony with space for entertaining, a chic shower room is tucked away on this level so it is good to share and up above, a vaulted mezzanine sleeping platform is private with glorious views to the east and west.
Parking is by separate arrangement - although you won’t need a car as it’s a short stroll to onsite amenities including shops, health club and cinema, and if you arrive by boat, there’s berthing by arrangement, a laundry room and a supermarket with cash machine.

Tucked beneath the open tread staircase, the kitchenette is small but perfectly formed, and the jetty has a laundry room on the lower deck.
A chic shower room on this level means guests don’t need to go through the sleeping area and upstairs, unique sea views stream through the windows enjoyed at each end of the generous vaulted mezzanine which is a special refuge to return to complete with built in wardrobes to fill.
