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
Property Reference number : 967907 Unseen for 100 Years - De Vere Gardens, Kensington W8 This distinguished period house is coming to the market for the first time in a century.
Tucked away on one of Kensington’s most prestigious tree-lined avenues, just moments from Kensington Palace and the sweeping green expanse of Kensington Gardens, it now presents an extraordinary opportunity to reimagine a landmark London residence.
Behind its elegant façade, the property reveals remarkable scale and character.
Arranged across several floors, it features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, soaring ceilings, a grand double reception room, and direct access to a private communal courtyard.
A charming balcony further enhances its sense of light and space.
Planning consent has previously been granted to expand the attic level, offering future scope to increase the property’s volume and potential even further.
In need of complete renovation, this house offers a rare blank canvas for a discerning buyer to design a bespoke home of the highest calibre, in a location where such opportunities are almost never available.
From this prime position, lifestyle and prestige converge: • Royal neighbours — Kensington Palace and Kensington Gardens at the end of the street.
• Culture at your fingertips — the Royal Albert Hall, V&A, and Natural History Museum nearby.
• The best of London living — boutique shopping and fine dining on Kensington High Street, with South Kensington and Knightsbridge also within easy reach.
Grand in scale, steeped in history, and unmatched in potential, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring a century-old Kensington home into a new era.
