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.

Situated on the desirable and tree-lined Cornwall Road in Bedford, this stunning six-bedroom Victorian home blends period charm with modern convenience.
Spanning three floors and offering generous and versatile living space throughout, this home is perfect for anyone seeking character, space, and a prime location.
The hallway features classic Victorian charm including a stain glass front door, original geometric mosaic flooring and ceiling covings.
The hallway leads through to a bay-fronted living room with double-glazed sash windows and an open fireplace, then into a dining room featuring patio doors to the garden and beautiful wooden flooring.
The rear of the home has been modernised, with a recently refitted, high-spec kitchen offering fitted units and a stylish curved island with granite work surfaces, complemented by a separate breakfast room.
A study and a cloakroom complete the well-presented ground floor.
