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.

Descending to the lower leveL, the principal suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a dressing area, and access to a charming private terrace, perfect for morning coffee or quiet retreat.
The second bedroom and third bedrooms are equally impressive, benefitting from their own private coffee terrace.
Solicitor - Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is extremely important to ensure that you obtain an effective yet cost-efficient solution.
The lure of supposedly cheaper on-line "conveyancing warehouse" style services can be very difficult to ignore but this is a route fraught with problems that we strongly urge you to avoid.
A local, established and experienced conveyancer will safeguard your interests and get the job done in a timely manner.
Bernards can recommend several local firms of solicitors who have the necessary local knowledge and will provide a personable service. Please ask a member of our sales team for further details.
