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
An attractive Victorian terrace house offering excellent potential to improve, update and extend to the rear and into the loft (subject to the necessary planning permissions).
The property requires internal modernisation and is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain.
The accommodation begins with a part-glazed front door opening into an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the principal reception rooms.
The lounge features a sash-style window to the front, exposed wooden floorboards and a character feature fireplace.
The dining room enjoys a sash window overlooking the rear garden, wooden flooring, a further feature fireplace and a door leading through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with recesses for appliances, a window to the side and a door providing access to the rear garden.
A further door leads to the ground floor bathroom, which comprises a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and low-level WC.
To the first floor, the landing benefits from a built-in storage cupboard and loft hatch, with doors leading to the bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and features a window to the front and wooden floorboards.
There are two further bedrooms, both overlooking the rear garden and also enjoying wooden flooring. Externally, the property offers a low-maintenance frontage.
The rear garden is a generous and established space with mature plants and shrubs, providing an attractive outdoor area. Pedestrian access leads from the rear garden back to the front of the house.
Albion Road is superbly located within a short walk of the main line train station, City centre, highly favoured local junior school and senior schools and the green open spaces of Clarence Park.
