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
This wonderful two double bedroom first floor flat is situated within a purpose-built development off Park Hill Drive.
Offered in superb decorative condition, the current owner has substantially improved the accommodation during her time including a fantastic refitted kitchen and bathroom.
The central heating boiler was replaced in 2019 and still has three years warranty remaining. The flat is not only very well presented it is also well positioned for a plethora of local amenities.
There is a nearby supermarket, a variety of other shops, services and eateries and is within the catchment for Granby Primary School.
There is easy access into Leicester city centre along Lutterworth Road, for those that commute.
Cricket fans will appreciate the fact Grace Road is literally around the corner, and football supporters will enjoy the fact the King Power stadium is not far away.
For walkers and runners, the nearby Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve provides pleasant routes through green space and along the banks of the River Soar.
Access to the block is via a secure intercom main door, shared with the neighbours and then up a flight of stairs to the main door.
The front door of the flat opens to a porch area and through a further door that leads into an entrance hall.
The entrance hall has a large storage cupboard providing space for the vacuum cleaner, clothes horses and ironing board. There is also a smaller cupboard which offers additional storage space.
Doors off the hallway open to the lounge diner, both bedrooms and the bathroom.
The lounge diner is generous and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to two large, almost floor to ceiling windows.
There is ample space to section the space using a variety of different furniture types, but there is certainly room to create a lounge and dining area. A door from the lounge opens to the kitchen.
In many modern apartments the kitchen often sits open plan to the living area, which can be an issue when cooking.
However, the kitchen having a door means it can be closed off from the lounge which will appeal to many.
The current owner has refitted the kitchen to a very high standard and includes a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and stainless-steel sink and drainer.
Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor hood over, and a built-in electric oven underneath. In addition, there is an integral fridge/freezer, slimline dishwasher, and washing machine.
The principal bedroom is the largest of two double rooms and has ample space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers.
The second bedroom is slightly smaller and for those who do not require using this space as a bedroom day-to-day it would make an excellent office space for those who work from home or even a large dressing room if required.
Finally, there is a striking refitted bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
To the outside there is parking spaces for residents with each flat given two permits. There are also communal gardens so residents can enjoy being outside in the warmer summer months.
This is a delightful flat with wide ranging appeal. First time purchasers, young couples, single parents and even those looking to downsize should give this home serious consideration.
Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the position, space and quality of presentation.
