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
Detailed Description Offered for sale with no onward chain, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace property on Hardshaw Street presents an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer looking to create a home to their own taste, or a buy-to-let investor seeking a renovation project in a convenient central location.
Requiring renovation throughout, the property offers scope to refresh and improve the accommodation while making the most of its practical layout.
The ground floor comprises a living room with space to create a comfortable setting for relaxing, leading through to a kitchen diner with potential to become a welcoming space for cooking and everyday dining.
A useful utility area provides additional space for laundry and household essentials, while the bathroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.
To the first floor, there are two bedrooms, offering flexibility for couples, small families or those wanting a guest bedroom or home office.
Situated behind St Helens Town Hall, the property is within walking distance of the town centre, placing a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities close at hand.
Its central position also provides convenient access to local bus services and St Helens Central railway station, making it a practical location for commuters and those who value having amenities nearby.
With no onward chain and clear potential for improvement, this property offers an appealing opportunity to create a personalised home or add to a rental portfolio.
