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.

Freehold. Council tax Band - C. EPC C-70 This handsome semi detached home is set above the road, conveniently positioned for the amenities of Newport; the cycle path; local schools and buses.
