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
Situated on James Street in Burton upon Trent, this traditional three-bedroom mid-terraced home offers a fantastic opportunity for investors or buyers looking to renovate a property and create a home to their own style.
The accommodation is arranged across two floors and includes two reception rooms, a long fitted kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom.
The third bedroom is accessed through the second bedroom, offering potential for use as a bedroom, dressing room, nursery or home office.
The property requires modernisation throughout but provides a practical layout, well-proportioned accommodation and plenty of potential.
Outside, there is an enclosed rear garden that requires maintenance.
Its position within easy reach of Burton town centre, local shops, schools, transport links and everyday amenities makes it an attractive prospect for first-time buyers, investors or anyone seeking a renovation project.
