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
***GUIDE PRICE £160,000 - £170,000*** This lovely two-bedroom apartment has been owned by the same owner since the development was first completed in 2006, when it was bought as her very first home.
It was lived in and well loved for many years before being rented out from 2016 onwards, and now the time has come for someone new to enjoy it.
One of the nicest things about this apartment is just how easy it is.
As you come up the stairs, the front door is directly in front of you, so there are no long communal corridors or awkward walkways to navigate.
It gives the apartment a much more private and straightforward feel from the moment you arrive.
Inside, the property has been beautifully refurbished throughout and feels bright, fresh and ready to move straight into.
The lounge is a really good size with plenty of natural light, while both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, giving you lots of flexibility.
Whether you are looking for your first home, somewhere by the sea, a second home for weekends away, an Airbnb or rental investment, this is the sort of apartment that works on so many levels.
For anyone wanting an escape from London or city life, it is particularly appealing.
You can hop on the train, arrive in Herne Bay and have your own little place by the coast waiting for you - somewhere you can lock up and leave without the worry or maintenance that comes with a larger property.
To the rear there is a communal garden which feels surprisingly private and gives you a lovely bit of outside space to sit and enjoy, without having a large garden to look after.
The property also benefits from a secure intercom entry system, an approximately 105-year lease and is being offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, helping to make the buying process that little bit simpler.
This is a really easy home to imagine enjoying - fresh, spacious, well positioned and ready for its next chapter.
LOCATION Situated in Downs Park, Herne Bay, the location really is one of the biggest selling points.
You are around 10 minutes from pretty much everything, with Herne Bay train station, the town centre, local shops, cafés and everyday amenities all within easy reach.
Walk to the top of the road and you are just moments from the seafront around The King's Hall, giving you easy access to the beach, coastal walks and everything that makes having a home by the sea so lovely.
For anyone travelling down from London, it gives you that brilliant combination of coastal living without feeling cut off - arrive by train, leave the car behind and enjoy a weekend by the sea, while still having everything you need close by.
Downs Park itself is a quieter residential road, so you get the best of both worlds: tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet with the station, town and seafront right on your doorstep.
