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.

Tenure - Freehold Council Tax Band - G Vendors Comments - The vendors have cherished this home for many years, lovingly maintaining it to a superb standard throughout.
Recently refreshed, the property feels vibrant and ready for its next chapter.
Though they adore the space, both the expansive garden and generous bedrooms, they now find it’s simply too large for their needs.
They’re hoping to see it passed on to someone who will relish all that space as much as they have. They plan to stay close by and warmly invite you to come view what could be your next home.
Agents Comments - Upon our multiple property visits we can safely confirm that all the bedroom sizes are absolutely superb.
There is a completely unoverlooked, south-facing garden with a huge expanse at the back, which is the allotment with access to water and power.
The location is within walking distance to everything Hockley has to offer.
You’ve got a private driveway and excellent scope for extension (although, the property is already very generously proportioned).
The master bedroom is what we can only describe as the size of a studio apartment.
There is a tremendous amount of space, and we certainly wish the new owners the best of luck in filling this beautiful property. Viewings are highly recommended.
