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
Occupying the top floor of an established development in the centre of Ingatestone, this spacious two-bedroom apartment has been fully renovated and finished in a clean Scandinavian-inspired style.
The result is a bright, calm and practical home that is ready to move into, with the village High Street and mainline railway station both within easy walking distance.
The renovation has been approached as a complete scheme rather than a series of isolated updates, giving every room a consistent finish and allowing a buyer to move in without budgeting for immediate improvements.
Extending to over 550 sqft, the apartment has been thoughtfully updated throughout, combining simple lines, carefully chosen finishes and excellent built-in storage.
The living room provides a comfortable and versatile main reception space, with ample room for both seating and dining.
A newly fitted range of sleek, floor-to-ceiling cupboards offers extensive concealed storage while maintaining the uncluttered appearance of the room.
The newly installed kitchen continues the contemporary theme, with streamlined timber cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances.
Its practical design makes good use of the available space while retaining the clean appearance that runs throughout the apartment.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for a couple, small family or anyone requiring a dedicated home office or occasional guest room.
The bathroom has also been completely refitted with a modern white suite, including a bath with a shower fitted above.
Further advantages include a long remaining lease, a private garage and an individual parking space—particularly valuable features for such a central village location.
The development is set within neatly maintained grounds, with the apartment’s top-floor position adding to its sense of privacy.
The combination of a comprehensive renovation, useful storage, private parking and excellent access to Ingatestone’s amenities makes this a particularly appealing first home.
It should also attract buyers seeking a straightforward buy-to-let investment in a well-connected Essex village.
Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support: A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
The service also provides access to an unlimited legal advice helpline staffed by qualified solicitors to assist with any questions you may have during your moving journey, and Mover Protection which is designed to help recoup certain costs if your sale or purchase should fail to complete through no fault of your own (terms and limits apply).
