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.

29 Red Lion Lane is a small terraced cottage in the heart of Farnham town. It offers a challenge which is not for the faint-hearted, as there is a lot of work to be done.
If you or your friends have good diy skills, this could be your chance to buy a one-bedroom cottage with a special garden for a relatively modest price.
The cottage has a flying freehold; next-door’s second bedroom sits over the cottage’s kitchen and bathroom. This aspect is similar to being in an apartment block.
The front door opens into the living room, which has an original beamed ceiling and a brick fireplace. The kitchen, at the rear of the property, is usable but needs updating.
The bathroom, which is entered from the kitchen, needs replacing.
Upstairs, the good-sized bedroom is at the front of the cottage, and is entered through a space which could be used as a study, or converted to an upstairs bathroom or small second bedroom.
The long garden rises from the rear of the property in a series of tiers, and from the upper levels gives views over Farnham town.
Parking in the lane is available to residents only by way of an annual parking permit, which means it is usually easy to find a suitable space.
This cottage has great potential, and is an ideal proposition for the right person with a visionary mindset making a start in the housing market, or as a buy-to-let property or an AirBnB.
Rents in Farnham town are reasonably high.
