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
Roberts are delighted to offer for sale this superb three-bedroom detached family home, ideally situated in the popular residential area of Lower Charminster, Bournemouth.
The property enjoys a particularly convenient location within walking distance of a wide range of local shops, cafés and amenities, while the open green spaces of Queens Park and its popular golf course are also close by.
Excellent transport connections include easy access to major bus routes and the Wessex Way, providing convenient links both into and out of Bournemouth.
The area is particularly popular with families thanks to its proximity to a selection of well-regarded schools, including sought-after grammar schools within easy walking distance.
