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
A unique opportunity to purchase two, one bed apartments converted from a period terrace.
The properties retain period features throughout including detailed moulding, mosaic flooring, while offering further potential for enhancement through a loft conversion (subject to the necessary planning).

Accessed via a private entrance and forecourt, the accommodation opens into a bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, enhanced by a bay window.
The well-appointed kitchen includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, creating an ideal space for modern living.
To the rear is a spacious double bedroom with a useful mezzanine storage area, walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite shower room.
Occupying the first floor, the second apartment is rich in character and accessed through its own private entrance, complete with an attractive mosaic-tiled entrance hall, original vestibule door with stained cut glass panels and high ceilings.
A generous landing leads to a substantial open-plan living area featuring dual-aspect windows and a decorative fireplace alcove.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated appliances, while the double bedroom benefits from built-in storage and a modern en-suite shower room.

Fax: Anti Money Laundering Compliance We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all purchasers and sellers.
These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract). Aml checks are valid for six months from the date of completion.
If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing aml check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.
We appoint hipla as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf.
Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), hipla will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.
A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the aml check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors.
The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.
Hudson Moody receives service credits from hipla which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
