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
This quaint end cottage offers an open plan living and dining area, two bedrooms, and a generous south facing rear courtyard.
Located in the sought after area of Heworth, the property benefits from a wealth of local amenities including shops, cafés, doctors, and nearby green space.
It is conveniently situated less than two miles from York city centre, with easy access to Vangarde Shopping Park, Monks Cross, major supermarkets, and the A64.
Within striking distance to a bus stop providing regular services to Leeds and the coast, further enhancing connectivity.
The property also sits within the catchment area for the well regarded Hempland Primary School.
The entrance opens directly into the open plan living dining room, featuring dual aspect windows, a gas fire with traditional stone fireplace, and a central staircase.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the property and includes an integrated Neff oven and hob, along with space for additional under-counter appliances.
The property is served by a combi boiler with approximately three years remaining on its warranty.
A central staircase leads to a generous double bedroom with laminate wood flooring, along with a second bedroom, both served by a spacious shower room fitted with a walk-in shower and white suite.
Externally, the home benefits from a good sized south facing rear courtyard with access to the service lane and rear on-street parking (not allocated).
The property has recently undergone structural works following historical movement.
The main area of damage was to the front left corner, internally and externally, with a pattern of cracking indicating movement towards this corner.
The level of damage was assessed as slight and classified as Category 2 in accordance with BRE Digest 251 (Assessment of damage in low rise buildings).
The movement was identified as being consistent with clay shrinkage subsidence, with the influence of a nearby tree considered a contributing factor.
The risk has subsequently been mitigated by the removal of the tree.
A structural certificate of adequacy has since been issued confirming the property is considered structurally sound following remedial works.
