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 PANSHANGER Panshanger, a grand country estate situated on the outskirts of Hertford and Welwyn Garden City, held a prestigious past as the former residence of Earl Cowper, who later ascended to the esteemed position of Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.
Over the course of seven remarkable generations, the legacy of Panshanger eventually met a new chapter when the property transitioned hands and underwent a transformative sale and demolition process around 1953.
Today, Panshanger Park finds itself under the ownership of Lafarge, preserving remnants of its storied history through the enduring structures of the orangery, nursery garden wall, and stables that still grace the landscape alongside various cottages and estate edifices, all meticulously recognized and safeguarded by the esteemed English Heritage.
The evolution of the locale continued to unfold, witnessing the establishment of residential housing in the 1970's, 1990's and up to recent years.
