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.

Sitting high above the city on the eastern edge of Kemptown, this substantial, characterful 1930s detached house enjoys sweeping, uninterrupted views across the rooftops to the English Channel - and from its elevated position, that view is with you in almost every room.
With 1782 sq ft (165.6 sq m) across two generous floors, plentiful off-street parking on a private driveway, an exceptional 81 ft garden and a contemporary glazed garden room, this is a freehold family home of real presence and considerable potential, in a quiet residential pocket just a short walk from the amenities of Kemptown Village, the seafront and the open downland of the South Downs National Park.
Brighton Station's direct trains to Gatwick and London are around 15-20 minutes by bus or cab, and with zone H permit parking on the road and no waiting list, the practicalities are as well-considered as the proportions.
