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
Sun all day. A garden room with its own bar. And no chain. This one is ready when you are.
Tucked into a friendly corner of Longbridge, this three-bedroom semi-detached family home gives you plenty of house for your money.
Inside, you will find a bay-fronted lounge, a substantial breakfast kitchen and a utility room that keeps the laundry out of sight.
Outside, the rear garden takes centre stage, with a lawn, a firepit patio and a powered, insulated garden room.
Longbridge shopping park, the train station and the motorway are all close by, and it comes with no onward chain. We asked them what made them buy it...
"The area and the amount of house for the money. That is what sold us. When we first walked in, it was clean and well presented, and it felt right.
It is a nice, close knit area, and everything you need is on the doorstep. There is a big shopping area, plus bars, shops and gyms.
Getting around is easy too, with the motorway links, trains and buses all close by." What about the house itself? "The garden is the thing we have never stopped loving.
It gets the sun all day, and the garden room with its bar is the star of the show. In summer we do a lot of entertaining out there, with the garden lights on and the bar open.
We have looked after the house as well. The boiler is only three years old and the roof is four, so those big jobs are already done." Our agents say... Start with that garden.
The lawn is well kept, the raised patio catches the sun, and the paved corner with its firepit is made for long evenings. Then there is the garden room.
It has power and insulation, so it works as a home office, a gym, a hangout or, as the owners prove, a bar. Inside, the breakfast kitchen is a real hub.
It has integral appliances, a breakfast counter with barstool seating, and a utility room next door for the washing machine and tumble dryer.
The lounge is generous, and its bay window fills the room with light. There are two doubles and a single upstairs, plus a modern family bathroom.
And there is a second bathroom on the ground floor, which gives you real flexibility for guests, growing families or anyone who wants easier living. Green space is close too.
Cofton Park is nearby, and Lickey Hills Country Park is a short drive away.
Add well-regarded schools and excellent transport links, and this suits first-time buyers and couples looking for a comfortable next chapter.
