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
They say you should buy the worst house on the best street… and this one might just prove the point... Renovation Alert! Cash Buyers Only.
If you’ve been searching for your next renovation project, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
Requiring full refurbishment throughout, this is certainly not a property for the faint-hearted—but for the right buyer, the potential is undeniable.
Let’s start with the obvious… these may well be the worst windows with the best views!
From the top floor bedroom, the outlook is simply breathtaking, stretching across the surrounding landscape and offering a view that will make you stop in your tracks and say, “Wow.” It provides a glimpse of what this property could become with imagination, investment and hard work.
The accommodation offers a surprisingly versatile layout, with two bedrooms on the first floor enjoying those incredible elevated views, and two further bedrooms on the ground floor.
There is also a generously proportioned lounge, a separate kitchen and a ground floor bathroom.
Outside, there are gardens to both the front and rear, together with a detached garage (buyers should note the roof is suspected to contain asbestos and appropriate investigations should be made).
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a property that demands vision and determination. Located in a highly sought-after position, the setting alone makes this an exciting prospect.
Whether you’re looking for your next investment, a rewarding renovation or the chance to create a forever home in a superb location, this property offers outstanding potential.
Please note: The property requires comprehensive renovation throughout and is therefore suitable for cash buyers only. Services have not been tested.
*Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks.
Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.*
