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
This is a rare opportunity to purchase this rarely available first-floor maisonette, which benefits from the additional advantage of a private parking space, situated in the popular Castle Road area.
The property is set on the first floor and has its own private entrance. The accommodation comprises a modern kitchen, living room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Heating is provided by a gas central heating system, and the windows are double glazed. The property also benefits from a small patio area and a 50% share of the freehold.
There is currently a tenant in situ, paying £1,150 pcm, providing investors with the potential to benefit from an immediate rental income.
The lease is 99 years from December 1993 with 66 years remaining. There is an annual service charge of £300, with no ground rent payable. These details should be verified by your legal advisor.
Howbury Street is ideally located within easy reach of the excellent amenities of nearby Castle Road, including a range of independent shops, welcoming pubs and cafés.
Russell Park and The Embankment are also just a short stroll away.
Bedford's mainline railway station provides fast and frequent services to London, while the area is well served by a choice of highly regarded private and state schools.
