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.

Carry on along this road turning left just after Sainsburys supermarket into Church Road, Alphington.
After a short distance go straight ahead at a mini roundabout and turn left just before the church into Chantry Meadow. Follow the road around to the right, turning left into Dawlish Road.
The property can be found after a short distance on the right. Agents Note: This is an executor sale.
The property is believed to be unregistered, and the seller has limited knowledge of the title documentation. Buyers should make their own enquiries through their solicitor.
This property is being sold without an occupier or previous owner available to provide the usual property information.
As such, we are unable to offer first hand details regarding its condition, any alterations, boundaries, neighbour relations, or other matters that would typically be answered by an owner-occupier.
Consequently, our knowledge of the property is more limited than in a standard owner-occupied sale, and some material information may not be known.
While we will take all reasonable steps to supply accurate information, prospective buyers are strongly advised to carry out all standard checks, inspections, and searches.
Any prospective buyer should also inform their solicitor of this situation and obtain appropriate legal advice.
