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 fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a genuine project, this two-bedroom home is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and offers huge scope to create a wonderful home tailored entirely to your own taste.
In need of full renovation throughout, this property represents a blank canvas for developers, investors, or hands-on buyers looking to add significant value.
With 721 sq ft of accommodation to work with, there's plenty of room to reconfigure and modernise the layout to suit contemporary living.
The property comprises two bedrooms and a single bathroom, all awaiting a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment.
While works are required, the bones of the home provide a solid foundation for a rewarding renovation project.
Outside, the real standout feature is the generously sized garden, a rare find and one that offers superb potential for outdoor entertaining, landscaping, or even further extension (subject to the necessary consents).
Off-street parking adds valuable practicality, a real bonus in this sought-after pocket of Caversham.
Positioned on a peaceful cul-de-sac, Managua Close offers a real sense of tranquillity while still being conveniently placed for local amenities and Caversham's popular shops and schools.
This is a rare chance to secure a renovation project in a quiet, well-regarded location, early viewing is essential to appreciate the potential on offer.
