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.

What the owner says: “We fell in love with this tranquil slice of countryside, close to Brighton centre.
The views to the sea, wildlife-filled garden and potential to substantially extend the property really appealed to us.
We love the baloney off the master bedroom for morning coffees and the large lounge with an open fireplace for cosy winters.
We've invested in a new kitchen, engineered oak floor throughout, central heating system and electrics.
I've enjoyed stocking the garden with various fruit trees, flowering climbers and bee-friendly flowers, I will miss looking out for the spring bulbs and the nesting birds.
Our home is perfectly situated for great public and private schools, direct train to London and buses into town.
In addition to the garage and off-street parking, all the parking around Westdene is free. We've spent a very happy 17 years in the area.
Westdene has a welcoming, active community with various independent shops (cafe, butchers, chemist, post office and sports stadium), an active community centre; The Barn - with yoga, toddler group, Tai Chi and Pilates classes and we're a few minutes walk from the South Downs and several large ancient woodlands.
