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.

Agents Note In 2020 the vendor noticed signs of movement to an area at the front of the house and duly made an insurance claim.
Investigations showed that the movement had been caused by subsidence due to root-induced clay shrinkage.
At the instruction of the insurer the offending vegetation was removed and the property repaired. A Certificate of Structural Adequacy was then issued, a copy of which can be supplied upon request.
Garden To the front there is an excellent corner plot which is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging.
Access via the carport leads to the rear and side garden which is mainly laid to lawn together with a patio and planted borders.
Parking - Car Port There is a spacious driveway providing ample side by side parking and leading to a double gated carport.
