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 within the sought-after Craneswater Park, Amersham Court enjoys an enviable position close to Canoe Lake and Southsea seafront.
This fourth floor apartment occupies an elevated position within the building, with lovely views across the tree-lined lake and towards The Solent, particularly from the impressive dual-aspect lounge/dining room.
The accommodation is generously proportioned and includes a large entrance hall with a range of useful storage cupboards, a spacious dual-aspect lounge/dining room with bay window, separate kitchen, two good-sized double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, and a shower room.
The apartment would now benefit from some modernisation and updating, but this presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on the property and create a stylish home in an exceptional location.
The combination of generous room sizes, attractive views and scope for improvement makes this an exciting proposition, particularly at this price point.
Further benefits include a private garage, visitor parking, lift access and well-maintained communal grounds.
