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

The bathroom has been converted to a shower room and the bedroom overlooks the residents gardens.
The barrel vaulted bedroom overlooks the peaceful residents gardens with access to the terrace/ fire exit, a full height window with a lockable sliding mechanism to allow air flow throughout the flat and a fitted wardrobe.
The modern shower room also benefits from a fitted linen cupboard.
