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.

The Nitty Gritty (Last of the Summer Wine Edition) As part of village life, we’ve come to know a fair few dependable folk who are rather good at what they do.
If we happen to point you in someone’s direction, it’s because we genuinely believe they’ll help keep things ticking along nicely and make the whole process as straightforward as a stroll through the countryside.
Now and again (though certainly not as often as Compo had a scheme up his sleeve), a small number of the people we recommend may send us a modest referral fee of up to £200 as a thank-you.
Of course, you’re under absolutely no obligation to use anyone we suggest – the choice is entirely yours.
Should you have an offer accepted on one of our properties and decide to go ahead with the purchase, there will be a small administration charge of £36 including VAT per person.
This covers the necessary Anti-Money Laundering identity checks and, like many of Compo’s ideas, once it’s done there’s no turning back – so the fee is non-refundable.
