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.

This detached home offers an exciting opportunity for purchasers to put their own stamp on a property on a desirable side road in Biggin Hill, with one of the best gardens around.
