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
SmoothSale is delighted to present this chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached home, offering spacious and versatile accommodation, a detached garage, off-road parking and a generous rear garden.
Requiring some cosmetic updating, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to personalise a home to suit their own style.
The property is entered through a welcoming hallway, which provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation and stairs leading to the first floor.
Positioned at the front of the property, the lounge is a bright and comfortable living space featuring a bay window and an attractive fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen offers a practical layout with a range of fitted units and ample worktop space, flowing seamlessly into a separate dining room that provides the perfect setting for family meals and social gatherings.
To the rear, a further reception space currently used as a dining and family room benefits from French doors opening directly onto the garden.
This versatile room could easily be adapted as a second sitting room, home office, playroom or hobby space.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms, including two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a versatile third bedroom that would be equally suited as a nursery, dressing room or home office.
A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation. Outside, the property continues to impress with a detached garage and a private driveway providing convenient off-road parking.
The enclosed rear garden offers a generous outdoor space with plenty of scope for redesign and landscaping, allowing buyers to create an attractive garden tailored to their own requirements.
Conveniently located close to local amenities, schools and transport links, this property represents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, families and investors seeking a home with outstanding potential.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can secure this property with an optional reservation deposit of £2,500.
This forms part of the property's total purchase price and is not an additional fee.
The deposit draws up a legally binding exclusivity agreement which gives exclusive rights to purchase the property within an agreed timeframe.
The reservation deposit guarantees that the seller will remove their property from the market as soon as the offer is accepted and the deposit is paid.
This means that the property is reserved for you, giving you time to complete the sale without the risk of being gazumped.
The fixed exclusivity period (typically 8-10 weeks) allows you to prepare financing, surveys and property searches with the confidence that you aren't wasting money on a sale that may fall through.
