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
Stylish, welcoming and ready to enjoy from day one, this lovingly renovated home makes an excellent first step onto the property ladder.
Natural-toned herringbone flooring, a characterful ornamental fireplace and a statement green kitchen create an interior with genuine personality, while the contemporary walk-in shower room provides a beautifully finished final touch.
A shared garden measuring approximately 8.19m x 7.18m gives the property valuable outside space rarely taken for granted with apartment living.
Shared with just one other flat, the fenced and gated garden is currently a blank canvas, offering exciting potential to introduce seating, planting and a relaxing outdoor area to enjoy throughout the warmer months.
Perfectly placed for enjoying Westcliff's lifestyle, the home brings together commuter convenience and coastal living.
Westcliff station is within easy walking distance, with direct c2c services towards London Fenchurch Street, while Hamlet Court Road, Chalkwell Park, Priory Park and the seafront are all readily accessible.

An especially appealing opportunity for a first-time buyer, the interior has been thoughtfully renovated to balance contemporary style with warmth and character.
The lounge/diner immediately sets the tone, offering comfortable space to create distinct areas for relaxing and dining.
An ornamental fireplace introduces a traditional focal point, while beautiful natural-toned herringbone flooring gives the room a sophisticated finish and continues seamlessly into the kitchen, helping the two spaces feel thoughtfully connected.
In the kitchen, gorgeous green cabinetry brings depth and personality to the room, complemented by patterned splashback tiling, pairing the space wonderfully.
Base and wall units provide useful storage, while an integrated oven and hob and an integrated washing machine help preserve the kitchen's clean, streamlined appearance.
Beyond the kitchen, the bedroom provides space for wardrobe furniture and benefits from two windows overlooking the rear aspect of the property.
Completing the accommodation is a contemporary shower room, where marble-effect wall panelling surrounds a generous walk-in shower with contrasting black fittings.
A hand basin set within a vanity unit provides valuable concealed storage and a W/C.
Exterior Outdoor space adds another dimension to the home, with one other resident of the building sharing with yourself a fenced and gated garden measuring approximately 8.19m x 7.18m.
Currently a blank canvas, the garden provides plenty of scope for residents to introduce their own personality, perhaps with outdoor seating, planting and pots to create an inviting place to enjoy warmer days.
With only two flats sharing the space, it offers a welcome outdoor extension to apartment living.
On-street parking can be found outside the property on Genesta Road and neighbouring residential streets, adding further practicality for those travelling by car.
You access the property via a communal front door and ascend a staircase to the flat's front door on the right.
