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.

EPC Rating: C Sellers Insight "We were so pleased we found this property for dad. It was just what he had been looking for.
It provided the perfect combination of independent freedom in his own property but located within a safe community environment, with its on-site restaurant and residents lounge, whilst also giving peace of mind from having 24hr on-call assistance and on-site care services when required.
Then there was always the choice to join in some of the many social activities with other residents, as much or as little as you wish, or to just enjoy your own space.
Also, to be able to sit outside on your own garden patio or to enjoy the communal grounds. With freedom to come and go as you please, it is very easy to get out and about too.
The bus stops right outside for the short ride into the town centre, bus and train stations plus there’s a major supermarket on your doorstep and even Paignton Zoo to visit nearby.
Family or friends can easily visit and even share a meal in the restaurant too."
