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
**Development Opportunity** Two self build plots available on the highly sought after Cornmoor Road in the heart of Whickham. Official planning expected imminently.
For the purposes of the sale, the existing bungalow is to be demolished and the site cleared of all associated rubble and waste prior to completion.
In terms of services, the existing bungalow is currently connected; however, purchasers will need to make their own enquiries regarding new connections for the proposed plots.
It is worth noting, there are a significant number of trees on the site, many of which are covered by a blanket TPO.
The scheme has been designed to allow for their retention, and we do not anticipate any needing to be removed.
Purchasers will need to take their own advice in relation to foundation design and any requirements associated with the retained trees. For further information please contact the office.
