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
Situated in the sought-after residential area of West Knighton, Leicester, this well-maintained three-bedroom link-detached home offers a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers and investors alike.
Offered to the market with no upward chain, the property is ready for immediate occupation and is conveniently positioned within easy reach of popular local schooling, amenities and transport links.
The ground floor accommodation opens with an entrance hall featuring stairs rising to the first floor.
A spacious lounge provides a comfortable living area, highlighted by a double-glazed window and a living flame effect gas fire (capped off) set upon a marble hearth with surround.
To the rear, the full-width kitchen/dining room creates a practical and sociable space, equipped with a range of wall and base units, a new integrated oven and gas hob with extractor hood, a new washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, inset spotlights, an under-stairs storage cupboard and French doors opening onto the garden.
On the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a shower over the bath, wash hand basin, low-level WC, shaver point and tiled finishes.
A built-in cupboard houses the boiler, alongside access to the loft space.
Outside, the property benefits from a front lawn with off-road parking, together with double side gates opening to additional driveway space.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a metal storage shed, a good-sized paved patio seating area and fencing to the side and rear.
The property also offers exciting potential for further development, with scope to extend to the side to potentially create additional ground-floor accommodation, such as a utility room and WC, with the possibility of an additional bedroom above.
This provides an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to increase the living space and adapt the home to suit their needs, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
