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
Set along Poets Road in Highbury, this two-bedroom lower ground floor flat offers approximately 657 sq ft of accommodation, a separate bay-fronted reception room and a private section of rear garden.
With a practical layout and a location close to Newington Green, the property offers a good balance of indoor and outdoor space.
The reception room sits at the front of the property, with a bay window adding character and providing natural light.
There is room for both seating and dining, creating a comfortable living space that remains separate from the kitchen.
The fitted kitchen is arranged independently of the reception room, with worktop space, storage and room for the main appliances.
Both bedrooms are positioned away from the main reception area, providing a useful degree of separation between living and sleeping accommodation.
The rear bedroom overlooks the garden, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a nursery or those looking to work from home.
A family bathroom, complete with a bath and overhead shower, serves both bedrooms. Outside, the private section rear garden is a real feature of the property.
Extending away from the building, it offers a combination of paved and gravelled areas, established planting and space for outdoor seating and dining.
The enclosed setting provides an appealing extension of the accommodation, particularly during the warmer months.
