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

Externally is off road parking and an enclosed garden.
Southcote Lane is conveniently located close to regular bus routes into Reading town centre and Reading train station, well regarded schooling and a range of supermarkets making this an excellent and adaptable family home.
