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
GUIDE PRICE £525,000 to £550,000 Offered to the market chain free, this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached freehold house occupies a pleasant position on the established Laing Estate in Shooters Hill, SE18.
Having been owner-occupied for 15 years, the property provides well-proportioned family accommodation extending to approximately 1,117 sq ft (103.8 sq m), together with a driveway, front and rear gardens, and an attached side garage.
The ground floor is approached via a welcoming entrance hallway leading to a generous bay-fronted reception room, providing a comfortable separate living space.
To the rear is a bright semi-open-plan kitchen and dining room, enjoying direct access onto the rear garden.
The kitchen provides a good range of fitted units and work surfaces, while the adjoining dining area offers ample space for a family dining table and entertaining.
A particularly useful feature is the additional utility room, positioned alongside the kitchen and providing further practical space together with access to a ground-floor WC.
The attached side garage, currently used primarily for storage, provides valuable ancillary space and may offer scope for alternative use or reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, making it suitable as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office.
The principal bedroom benefits from an attractive front bay, while the accommodation is completed by a modern shower room.
Externally, the house has a front garden and private driveway, together with the side garage.
To the rear is a sizeable garden offering plenty of room for seating, children's play and further landscaping.
The combination of the existing extension, garage and generous plot gives the property considerable flexibility for a purchaser wishing to personalise the house over time, subject to the appropriate permissions.
