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
57 Back Lane is a four bedroom detached bungalow in Sowerby, finished to a genuinely turn key standard throughout.
The current owners have carried out a full renovation to every room, including a new Worcester Bosch combi boiler, leaving nothing outstanding for a new buyer to tackle.
Every surface, fitting and finish has been considered, from the shaker style kitchen to the fitted wardrobes and panelled wall detailing found throughout the home.
This is a property that suits buyers looking for a straightforward move: simply bring your belongings, unpack, and settle in.
The layout offers flexibility with two reception rooms, one of which could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, alongside three further bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
Outside, the private rear garden is already established and ready to enjoy, with a paved patio, covered pergola seating area and well stocked borders providing space to relax from day one.
For anyone wanting a home without a project attached, this is a rare opportunity to buy somewhere that is genuinely ready to live in.
