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 well-presented 1930's family home with much potential in a quiet cul-de-sac location close to good schools and transport links.
Overall Description - This is a pleasant semi-detached 1930's house that has double-glazed windows and gas central-heating (with a gas safety certificate) and has had a number of recent improvements, including internal redecoration and updated electrics (with a safety certificate).
The property has three bedrooms, a bathroom and cloakroom on the first floor with an entrance hall, porch, open-plan sitting/dining room and galley kitchen on the ground floor.
The property has a light and bright feel while still giving buyers scope for further improvement which may potentially include a rear extension, under permitted development rights, as other properties in the area have done (subject to the usual consents).
Outside there is a private drive which could be enlarged if so desired and a 55' garden with raised patio, central lawn and two sheds.
If you are looking for a well-presented family home with potential, in a good location close to good schools, then viewing is highly recommended.
