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.

No annual charge Owner's Perspective "I love how close it is to the high street: It’s so easy to pop out for groceries or for a coffee.
It’s also got great travel links in to Cambridge- i’ve commuted to the Science Park on my bike most days for the last 5 years!
It’s also beautifully peaceful with no road noise, because it’s tucked away on a private lane.
I originally fell in love with the beautiful large kitchen, and that’s probably still my favourite space in the home."
