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.

In addition, the ground floor benefits from a fully fitted study/hobby room, a practical utility room with ample wall and base-mounted units, housing an efficient water softener, a cloakroom cupboard, and a WC.
