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.

Property Information This substantial three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers approximately 1,031 sq. ft.
of accommodation, with generous room proportions, two separate reception rooms and a particularly spacious rear garden.
Having been used as student accommodation for several years, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a traditional home, or investors seeking a property in an established rental location.
While some cosmetic updating would be beneficial, the accommodation is functional and offers plenty of flexibility for future use.
The attractive Victorian frontage features a traditional bay window, a small foregarden and wrought-iron entrance gate.
Inside, the hallway leads into a spacious front living room, where the large bay window allows plenty of natural light to fill the space.
Grey carpeting, neutral decoration and traditional ceiling cornicing provide a comfortable setting, while a capped fireplace retains a connection to the property's period character.
The separate dining room is another generously proportioned reception space, offering ample room for a family dining table and additional furniture.
A further capped fireplace with a painted wooden mantel adds character, and the room could easily accommodate a variety of uses.
To the rear, the kitchen is larger than might typically be expected in a traditional terrace, fitted with white cabinetry, dark granite-effect worktops, white tiled splashbacks and wood-effect flooring.
An integrated oven, electric hob and extractor hood provide the main cooking facilities, while the practical layout offers good worktop and cupboard space.
A useful pantry provides additional storage, and beyond the kitchen is a separate utility room with space for laundry appliances.
There is also access to a rear outbuilding, previously used as a small home gym, which could equally provide useful storage for bicycles, gardening equipment or hobbies.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in size, measuring approximately 14'2" x 11'7", and has recently benefited from fresh decoration and new carpeting.
The second bedroom is another comfortable double, while the third offers flexibility as a single bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office.
The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with overhead shower, washbasin and WC.
Although some of the internal finishes would benefit from modernisation, the property's traditional proportions and versatile layout provide an excellent starting point for creating a lovely family home.
One of the property's standout features is its unusually generous rear garden, offering considerably more outdoor space than many traditional terraced homes.
Currently finished with a low-maintenance tarmac surface and enclosed by established stone boundary walls, the garden provides a substantial area for outdoor seating, entertaining or further landscaping.
A wrought-iron gate provides access to the rear ginnel, while the adjoining outbuilding adds useful storage and practicality.
