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 neighbouring properties at 4 and 6 Chapel Street are offered as coordinated lots.
Buyers may bid on either individually; however, both must achieve a successful sale for completion to proceed.*** Situated in the heart of Congleton town centre, 4 Chapel Street is a charming Grade II listed three bedroom semi detached home that offers fantastic potential for anyone looking to put their own stamp on a character property.
As you step inside, you’re welcomed straight into the lounge, a cosy front room with a window that brings natural light into the space.
From here, you step down into the dining room, where you’ll also find a convenient downstairs WC.
Leaving the lounge, you can either head upstairs via the staircase or walk through to the utility room, which then leads into the kitchen.
The kitchen is an impressive size and gives the home a surprisingly spacious feel that isn’t immediately obvious from the front.
Access to the rear garden is gained through a door in the utility room, making it a practical layout for everyday living. Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms.
The master benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
The home would benefit from some cosmetic updating, giving buyers the opportunity to modernise and enhance the space while preserving its period charm.
With Congleton’s shops, cafés, transport links and everyday amenities just a short stroll away, 4 Chapel Street combines convenience with character, a rare chance to create something special in one of the town’s most historic streets.

Further details are available in the catalogue Addendum Check the latest addendum at buttersjohnbee.com for any alterations or changes to the catalogue Guide Price An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction.
The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase.
It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing.
As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued.
This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall.
A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition).
Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Reserve The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell.
The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer.
Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Proof of Identity To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, all bidders must provide identification when registering to bid at auction.
The successful purchaser will then be required to provide two forms of identification to complete the Landmark verification process.
