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
Welcome to Dolphin Court, a quiet complex of modern apartments situated just a few moments from Swanage Town Centre.
This contemporary ground floor apartment boasts immaculate presentation throughout, a parking space and garage as well as two double bedrooms, ideal for families and investment buyers.
The apartment is accessed via a private entrance and is surrounded by well-maintained communal grass areas and is a short, level walk into the town centre.
There are plenty of nearby transport links connecting to Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and London.
Stepping through the front door, we are welcomed into the bright and airy entrance hall, with built in storage for keeping shoes, coats and beach gear.
We are invited firstly to the spacious living and dining area, which offers ample room for a sofa suite, coffee table, display storage and dining table.
Set off from the living area is a space-saving kitchen, fitted with plenty of base and eye-level storage units, ample work top space, inset sink, gas oven and hob, dishwasher and plumbing for a washing machine.
Return to the hallway where the two good-sized double bedrooms are located. The principal bedroom currently houses a double bed and freestanding units, as well as ample built in storage.
Bedroom two is of similar size to bedroom one and is currently laid out as a twin room, also with freestanding units and built-in wardrobes, ideal for guest accommodation or as a children's bedroom.
Both bedrooms benefit from plenty of natural light. The family bathroom serves both bedrooms and comprises a P-shaped bath with shower over, heated towel rail, W.C., and wash basin.
The bathroom is currently decorated in warm coastal tones and fully tiled for a luxurious effect.
The apartment has been beautifully decorated throughout and provides an ideal first time buy, investment property, or somewhere comfortable to retire to by the coast.
