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.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only. We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property.
Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute, who will contact you once you have agreed an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy.
The cost of these checks is £72 (incl. VAT) per person, which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required.
This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us issuing a memorandum of sale, directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable.
