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 accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall with storage cupboard housing the boiler and attic access, a bright and generously proportioned sitting/dining room with Juliette balcony, and a pristine modern kitchen with a selection of integrated appliances included.
The well-sized double bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the bathroom is fitted with a shower over the bath.
Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, allocated parking and professionally maintained communal grounds.
Factor fees are payable to Hacking and Paterson and cost approximately £280–£300 per quarter and include buildings insurance, stair cleaning, lighting and maintenance of the development communal grounds.
An owner can increase their share of ownership on the anniversary of the date of entry in 25% blocks.
