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
An interesting residentially dominated investment opportunity consisting of four apartments and one commercial unit set in a town centre location.
The Property Silmart is a mixed use multi let three storey building believed to have been constructed during the 1970’s, built of rendered masonry construction under pitched roof with interlocking concrete tiles.
To the rear of the building is a two-storey extension which provides a large balcony to the 2nd floor apartment.
The property was originally laid out to provide two ground floor retail units but the left-hand unit has subsequently been converted into a residential flat.
Three of the four flats are currently let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreements, and the retail unit is also on a documented let with a particular feature of the property being the longevity of the tenants.
Finally, to the rear of the property is a good-sized hard landscaped courtyard garden.
