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 Nitty Gritty (Mary Poppins Edition) As a friendly and well-established part of the community, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know some rather wonderful professionals who are experts in their fields.
From time to time, we may recommend one of them to you, always in the very best of faith and with the hope that they’ll help make your property journey as smooth as a practically perfect afternoon.
Now, a small note of housekeeping — because even Mary Poppins had a sensible umbrella for rainy days!
A small number of the professionals we recommend (certainly not the majority) may, on occasion, pay us a referral fee of up to £200.
Of course, there is absolutely no obligation whatsoever to use any third party we recommend. The choice, quite properly, is entirely yours.
Should your offer on one of our properties be successfully accepted and you then proceed with the purchase, there is an administration charge of £36 including VAT, per person, which is non-refundable.
This charge covers the completion of our Anti-Money Laundering and Identity Checks — a little necessary housekeeping to ensure everything is practically perfect and above board.
