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.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a lounge with access to a small balcony, a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, which has already been updated.

Fairwater Green provides access to further local shops and facilities, while the wider area offers a choice of schools, leisure facilities and places to eat and drink.
For commuters, the location is well placed for public transport, with nearby bus routes and railway stations at Fairwater, Waun-Gron Park and Danescourt providing connections towards Cardiff city centre and surrounding areas.
Road links also offer access to the A4232 and M4, making travel further afield convenient.
For those who enjoy spending time outdoors, the surrounding area offers local green spaces, while the renowned St Fagans National Museum of History is within reach, providing a popular destination for walks, heritage and days out.
**Please note:** The property has approximately 35 years remaining on the lease and requires modernisation.
Prospective purchasers are advised to seek independent legal and financial advice regarding the remaining lease term and any potential lease extension, as this may affect mortgage availability and the overall purchase process.
