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
Seller's comments... I loved living in my two-bed cottage in rural Oxfordshire for its perfect blend of charm, peace, and community.
The cottage itself held character—cosy rooms, lovely sunlight and Otmoor on my doorstep.
With great links to Oxford, Bicester & London the village was still quiet, surrounded by rolling countryside and birdsong.
There was a real sense of community too - friendly neighbours, local pubs, village fetes - that made you feel connected.
I will be sad to go but hope it can be as special for the next owner as it was for me. Agent's comments...
