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
Fantastic Investment Opportunity or First Time Buyer purchase An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned three-bedroom mid terraced home, offering an appealing combination of generous accommodation, off-street parking, a garage and excellent potential for further improvement.
Equally suited to a first time buyer looking to put their own stamp on a property or an investor seeking a well-located rental investment, the property offers approximately 995 sq ft of accommodation.
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance, spacious reception room, separate dining room and kitchen, together with access to the integral garage.
To the first floor are three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the accommodation providing plenty of flexibility for modern family living.
There is also considerable scope to enhance and extend the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
The garage could potentially be incorporated into the main accommodation, as has been done at other properties along the road, creating additional living or dining space.
The rear garden also offers exciting possibilities, with scope to create additional parking or potentially a garden office, subject to the appropriate permissions.
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking to the front as well as the integral garage, while the rear garden provides a good-sized outside space with further potential for the new owner to improve and personalise.
From an investment perspective, we understand the property could achieve a potential rental income of approximately £1,400 per calendar month, making it an attractive proposition for landlords and potentially offering a 5%+ gross rental yield, depending on the eventual purchase price and associated costs.
