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 substantial four-bedroom terraced, currently being used as an HMO, provides an appealing amount of accommodation for buyers seeking space, flexibility and a well-connected Preston location.
This property can be purchased as a continuing HMO business or as a family home.
Its traditional red-brick frontage, generous room proportions and high ceilings give the property a characterful feel, while the layout offers a practical foundation for family life, shared living or those wanting room to work from home.
An entrance hall leads into the principal lounge, a comfortably sized reception room with a large rear-facing window and room for both relaxed seating and everyday dining.
A further front reception room adds welcome flexibility and could become a second sitting room, formal dining room, home office or ground-floor bedroom, subject to a buyer’s requirements.
The fitted kitchen extends across the rear of the home, providing a practical arrangement of wall and base cabinetry, work surfaces, a gas hob with oven below and space for appliances.
Its scale gives buyers a useful opportunity to tailor the room around their preferred kitchen and dining style over time.
The first floor provides four separate bedrooms, giving the home a rare level of versatility for this central location.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous, while the remaining rooms can comfortably adapt to children’s rooms, guest accommodation, study space or a dedicated home office.
The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, shower over, wash basin and WC. To the rear is an enclosed, walled courtyard with gated access.
This manageable outdoor space offers scope to create a more considered seating, planting or low-maintenance garden area to suit the next owner’s lifestyle. Location & Lifestyle.
