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
A deceptively spacious and beautifully presented three-bedroom link-detached home, quietly positioned in a sought-after, tucked-away residential setting – just a short walk from the village centre and local amenities.
