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.

Tenure: Service Charge: Ground Rent: Agent Note Regarding EPC: The EPC was rated an F with potential for an F.
This is partly due to the retrofitted electric underfloor heating, which has downgraded the rating based on the Gov's criteria.
On discussing with the energy assessor, their assessment was that it would be cost-prohibitive to reinstate night storage heaters (which would lift the rating).
Between April 2025 and March 2026, the years electricity bill was £2,340 (£195 pcm) - currently a 1 person household.
Averages: “The average 2-bedroom flat with the average EPC of a D is £166.50 pcm, or £1,998 per annum.” “The average monthly energy bill for a 3-bed semi-detached house with an energy efficiency rating D is around £197pcm, or £2,358 annually.” (Ref:
