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
Derwent Drive is a quiet cul-de-sac off Ogden Road, a short stroll into Bramhall village and to Moss Hey Primary School, and within the catchment for Bramhall High School, where a brand new school building is due for completion in 2028.
The house has been owned by only two families since it was built.
The current owners have lived here for 11 years and in that time have meticulously updated and extended the property to a high modern standard, creating approximately 1,920 sq ft of beautifully finished family space.
The ground floor centres on a superb 19ft open-plan dining kitchen. Three large Velux roof windows and French doors to the garden fill the room with light and air.
Quartz worktops, a central island with seating and solid oak flooring create a real wow-factor, while integrated appliances include an induction hob, full fridge, freezer, dishwasher and double oven.
The kitchen flows into a 21ft orangery-style sitting room with a striking feature roof lantern and French doors to the garden, while a separate 17ft living room at the front of the house provides a relaxed second living space.
A newly installed shower room with underfloor heating, a utility room with quartz worktops, and a garage complete the ground floor.
Engineered oak herringbone parquet flooring runs through the hallway, which also has a handy under-stairs storage cupboard. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The principal bedroom and the second double bedroom both have fitted wardrobes.
Bedrooms three and four currently have an opening between them, creating a large double room with dressing area; this could easily be reinstated as two separate bedrooms at low cost.
The family bathroom was fitted in the last couple of years. Digital Mira showers and bespoke plantation shutters feature throughout the house.
A custom-built garden office provides an exceptional space away from the main house, ideal for home working or as a home gym.
It has gas central heating, full-fibre broadband and engineered oak herringbone parquet flooring.
The gardens wrap around two sides of the property, facing south-east and south, so they catch the sun from morning through to evening.
They are mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and hedging providing a superb level of privacy. An Indian stone patio provides a further space to sit out and enjoy the garden.
An elevated deck offers a charming spot to sit and houses a wooden shed, and a barked area tucked behind the office keeps children's play equipment out of view.
To the side of the property, a large decking area provides space to sit and dine, with outdoor power points for added convenience.
At the front, an illuminated resin driveway sits alongside a large lawn and established planting. An undercover, tethered EV charger will comfortably reach two electric vehicles.
The garage offers lighting, power and built-in racking, ideal for outdoor storage.
