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
Sometimes the best finds are the ones that don't shout about themselves.
Tucked away in a well-managed block on the east side of Swindon, this first floor apartment is one of those quietly excellent properties that ticks every practical box without any of the fuss.
Inside, the layout is straightforward and well-proportioned: An entrance hall leads into a bright open plan living and dining room, with a separate kitchen, a good-sized bedroom and a bathroom.
New carpets have been laid in the hall and living area, and the living room and bedroom have both had a fresh coat of paint, so it's genuinely ready to move straight into.
Gas central heating throughout, and an allocated parking space outside. Location-wise, this one delivers.
Greenbridge Retail Park is half a mile away (Lidl, a cinema, restaurants, the lot) and the A420, A419 and M4 are all within easy reach, making it a solid choice for commuters.
The town centre, train station and bus boulevard are just 2.4 miles away, and there's a good bus route on the doorstep for those who'd rather leave the car at home.
Offered with no onward chain and a vendor who is motivated to proceed quickly, this is a straightforward purchase for the right buyer.
With 107 years remaining on the lease, it's fully mortgageable with all mainstream lenders, a genuine advantage over other flats currently available in the area.
Lease: 107 years | Ground rent: £200 p.a. | Service charge: £1,162.52 p.a. Early viewing strongly recommended.
