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
This semi-detached house is in a popular location to the north of the city centre.
It has a good sized plot and exciting for extension subject to consents, with plenty of local precedent to illustrate what might be possible.
Set back from the road, it has a bloc-paved driveway to the front providing off street parking.
The front door opens into a lobby which gives access to a spacious living room with feature fireplace and double doors open into a bright open plan space at the rear of the house which has ample room for dining furniture at one end and a contemporary, well planned kitchen at the other.
An annexe has been cleverly created to one side of the house which has a separate front door, and this leads past a utility area and a shower room to a room which is has been in use as a bedroom.
There are three further bedrooms upstairs, accessed from a bright landing with a window to the side of the house, and there is a fully tiled family bathroom.
The 100ft garden faces south and has mature trees to the rear providing a good level of privacy. There is a paved seating area close to the property and a good sized lawn with timber shed.
Please note - The property is of non-standard construction, however we understand that PRC certification is available.
The property is situated in the New Greens area of St Albans within walking distance of several highly regarded schools including St Albans Girls School.
It provides convenient access to St Albans City centre, the mainline station and surrounding motorway networks and is close to Batchwood Leisure Centre and Golf Club.
