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
Property Insight A first-floor apartment finished to a noticeably high standard, set on an attractive and well-maintained modern development in the heart of Melbourn.
Among the larger two-bedroom apartments of its kind, it is ready to move straight into, and the quality is clear from the entrance hall onward - bright and wide, with Karndean flooring, attractive board-and-batten panelling, pendant lighting and integrated storage setting the tone for the rest of the home.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room is the heart of the apartment, a generous space with wood-effect flooring and double French doors opening onto a private balcony.
There is comfortable room for seating and a dining table, while the kitchen is fitted with modern base and wall units, laminate worktops, tiled splashbacks, an integrated double oven, gas hob and extractor, with space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles with integrated storage, the principal carrying its own generously sized en-suite shower room alongside the family bathroom.
Outside, the private balcony looks out over the development and makes an easy spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink.
With four years still to run on its new-home warranty, no onward chain and presentation this good throughout, this is a home that asks little of its next owner beyond moving in, and works equally well as a first purchase or an investment.
