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.

Property Insight Set within a well-established residential development on the edge of Royston, this second-floor apartment makes a sensible first purchase or a straightforward buy-to-let, offered to the market with no upward chain.
The building sits back within mature communal grounds, framed by established trees, with a footpath running to the front entrance and open lawns to either side.
Its position gives easy reach of Royston's mainline station and town centre, and the accommodation runs to just over 530 sq ft across a bright, well-proportioned layout.
For an investor or a buyer taking their first step, the combination of setting, size and chain-free position makes this one worth a close look. The living space is the heart of the apartment.
The open-plan lounge and dining room is generous, with a large window to the rear drawing in light over the treetops and room for both a full seating arrangement and a dining table.
Wood-effect flooring runs throughout, giving the space a clean, connected feel.
Adjoining is the kitchen, fitted with light shaker-style wall and base units, tiled splashbacks and a window to the rear, with a freestanding cooker beneath a stainless steel extractor and space for further freestanding appliances.
The layout keeps cooking and living close without losing the sense of two distinct areas. The sleeping accommodation comprises two bedrooms served by the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a window to the front and a pleasant outlook across the rooftops, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a nursery, guest room or home office.
The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, pedestal basin and WC, with white tiling and a frosted window to the side.
Outside, the apartment sits within maintained communal grounds framed by mature trees.
A rare chain-free opportunity in a settled Royston position, well suited to investors and first-time buyers alike.

It grew from the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Roman and prehistoric, and carries a wealth of rich heritage - including its own cave, revealed in the 18th Century, carved out of chalk beneath the crossroads in the centre of town.
The town enjoys numerous green open spaces, including the renowned Therfield Heath nature reserve, and lies on the northern slopes of the Hertfordshire Chalk Downs.
The town centre offers a market and a high street of bustling shops alongside a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and public houses, with supermarkets on the outskirts, doctors' surgeries, dentists, schools and a leisure centre.
Clubs and activities range from tennis and rugby to hockey and golf.
Transport links are excellent: The town sits on the A10, with the A1M and M11 each within a 15-minute drive, and a mainline station running direct to London Kings Cross in as little as 38 minutes EPC Rating: D
