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
RL0918 - Offered with no forward chain, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment forms part of Heslington Court: A small, welcoming development situated in one of York’s most popular locations.
The development is designed for buyers aged 55 and over, although applicants over the age of 18 with a disability may also be eligible, subject to approval by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust.
The apartment is offered on a 70% ownership basis with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, providing a more affordable opportunity to enjoy independent living within a friendly and supportive community.
The property has its own entrance, opening into a hallway with stairs leading to the first-floor accommodation.
A stairlift is currently installed and may prove particularly useful for buyers with mobility requirements.
At the top of the stairs, a part-glazed door opens into an inner hallway connecting the principal rooms.
The lounge is generously proportioned, with double-glazed windows to the front, an electric feature fire and a useful over-stairs storage cupboard. A particular highlight is the modern fitted kitchen.
This well-equipped space includes an integrated dishwasher, touch-control hob, built-in oven and microwave, together with an integrated fridge-freezer. There are two bedrooms.
The main bedroom is a generous double with rear-facing windows, while the second bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, study or hobby space.
French doors from this room open onto a small balcony overlooking the communal gardens.
The accommodation is completed by a purpose-built wet room, warm air central heating and a large storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
The property also includes a loft and outside cupboard for extra storage.
Although the apartment would benefit from new flooring and some redecoration, it provides an excellent opportunity for the next owner to personalise the accommodation.
Importantly, the kitchen has already been modernised and is ready to use.
Residents have access to attractive, well-maintained communal gardens, along with warden support and organised community events.
Heslington Court offers the independence of having your own home while providing the reassurance of a friendly community in which residents look out for one another.
The property is offered with a service charge of £164.78 per calendar month, and a new 60-year lease will be granted upon completion.
