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.

All measurements are approximate and into bays, alcoves and occasional window spaces where appropriate. Room sizes cannot be relied upon for carpets, flooring and furnishings.
We have tried to ensure that these particulars are accurate but, to a large extent, we have to rely on what the vendor tells us about the property.
You may need to carry out more investigations in the property than it is practical or reasonable for an estate agent to do when preparing sales particulars.
For example, we have not carried out any kind of survey of the property to look for structural defects and would advise any homebuyer to obtain a surveyor’s report before exchanging contracts.
We have not checked whether any equipment in the property (such as central heating) is in working order and would advise homebuyers to check this.
You should also instruct a solicitor to investigate all legal matters relating to the property (e.g.
title, planning permission, etc) as these are specialist matters in which estate agents are not qualified. Your solicitor will also agree with the seller what items (e.g.
carpets, curtains, etc) will be included in the sale.
