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
8 POUND LANE is a fantastic three bedroom semi detached house built of mellow brick elevations under a tiled roof.
Having been built in the late 1990’s the property has been used by the current owners as a successful rental for the last 12 years but is now offered to the market with full vacant possession and no onward chain!
The house enjoys a quiet and convenient location being almost equal walking distance between the local primary and secondary school as well as the town centre.
The accommodation comprises three good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, a newly redecorated sitting room and a large kitchen diner with further benefits including a good sized rear garden, garage and ample off road parking.
The property could also be easily improved by adding a conservatory or utilising the ground next to the garage. This house must be viewed to fully appreciate what’s on offer!
