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.

Location The village of Grove lays approx.
13 miles south-west of Oxford where the Thames Valley meets the Berkshire Downs and is well situated for all the main travel links, with the A338 providing easy access to the A34, M40, M4, plus the rail links in Oxford, Didcot, and Swindon.
Its favoured position gives the village a peaceful aspect and it stands amid traditional farming areas.
Despite this, Grove has grown, in post-war years, from a small, self-sufficient hamlet to a thriving modern community with shops and schools to meet the needs of its newcomers.
The extensive acreage given over to housing is designed for ease of access to the modern schools in comparative safety, along with a network of walkways, only seldom needing to cross roads or encounter traffic.
With more comprehensive facilities available in nearby Wantage, Grove offers much more than the average village. what3words w3w.co/tablet.unions.awestruck. Tenure Freehold.
