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.

EPC Rating: D OWNERS INSIGHT "My wife moved from Northamptonshire in 2021 and bought Shorton Suite so that she could wake up every day and see the diamonds dancing on the sea.
