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.

The Appeal Of Our Home - The Owners Insight - "What we've loved most about living here is the balance between old and new.
The cottage is full of original features, exposed beams and natural wood, giving it so much warmth, character and a real sense of its history, while the bright, modern kitchen is where we've spent most of our time together, enjoying the views across the Vale of York, the Wolds and even York Minster.
In the winter we love having the log burner lit, and as keen gardeners we've especially enjoyed having the allotments just beyond the garden.
Above all, we've loved living in such a friendly village, with wonderful neighbours and a real sense of community."
