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
Barton Square is, without doubt, one of Ely’s most sought after locations.
With the mainline railway station just down the road, and the Cathedral and High Street a short walk in the opposite direction, it is one of the most convenient locations in the city.
The river and marina are also nearby, with one of the most picturesque approaches being through Cherry Hill Park and ‘The Porta’, which sits just across the square and dates back to the 1400s.
ELY Home to a world famous 900 year old Cathedral, the historic city of Ely lies on the River Great Ouse about 17 miles from Cambridge.
There is a very good range of shopping facilities within the centre itself, including a market on both Thursdays and Saturdays.
A comprehensive range of local schooling is available including the independent co-ed school, King's Ely.
The area boasts a number of sporting facilities including an 18 hole golf course, indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and squash club.
There is an excellent variety of pubs and restaurants, including the new Ely Leisure Village which also features a six screen cinema.
The A10 connects Ely to Cambridge, where the A14 and M11 provide routes to London (80 miles drive) and the rest of the country.
