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.

Location – Royston Royston is a traditional English town in Hertfordshire, on the border of Cambridgeshire and 14 miles from Cambridge.
It grew from the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Roman and prehistoric, and carries a wealth of rich heritage - including its own cave, revealed in the 18th Century, carved out of chalk beneath the crossroads in the centre of town.
The town enjoys numerous green open spaces, including the renowned Therfield Heath nature reserve, and lies on the northern slopes of the Hertfordshire Chalk Downs.
The town centre offers a market and a high street of bustling shops alongside a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and public houses, with supermarkets on the outskirts, doctors’ surgeries, dentists, schools and a leisure centre.
Transport links are excellent: The town sits on the A10, with the A1M and M11 each within a 15-minute drive, and a mainline station running direct to London Kings Cross in as little as 38 minutes.
