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
Located equidistance from Old Street and Angel tube stations (0.5 miles), Petty Son and Prestwich are proud to offer for sale this stylish two double bedroom, two-bathroom, apartment positioned on the third Floor.
The Cooper Building is located on Wharf Road, which runs north from City Road.
Positioned ideally between Old Street and Angel, both locations are serviced by great transport links including Northern line, London Overground and local buses into the City.
City Road and Upper Street also offer a popular and sought after selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The apartment enjoys lots of natural light and is in excellent decorative order throughout.
Stepping inside, the two double bedrooms are either side of you, with the double bedroom featuring a slick fully tiled ensuite shower room.
There is also a separate bathroom that is equally as impressive and having the two bathrooms and two double bedrooms, it makes this apartment ideal for those sharing or for investors looking for a good rental return.
The apartment then flows through in a contemporary, high gloss, fully fitted kitchen, with stylish under unit lighting and low maintenance, cream splash backs.
The layout of the apartment creates a slight and practical separation between the kitchen and living space, which is generous in size and large enough to comfortably house a sofa and dining table and benefits from French doors opening onto a spacious balcony.
Other features include an energy-efficient heating system, underfloor heating, lift access, concierge facilities, leisure space and a large communal roof terrace.
