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
Tenure: Leasehold Spacious two-bedroom maisonette | private garden & balcony | 158-year lease | no service charge A surprisingly spacious two-bedroom maisonette arranged over three floors, offering generous room sizes, high ceilings, its own private entrance and a large rear garden.
Situated in a highly convenient central Southend location, the property combines character, excellent living space and exceptionally low leasehold outgoings.
The accommodation begins with a private entrance hall with built-in storage, leading upstairs to an unusually generous landing extending over 6 metres.
The impressive 14'11" bay-fronted lounge is a particularly attractive room, with high ceilings and a feature fireplace.
There is also a spacious double bedroom and a large family bathroom with a shower over the bath and useful built-in storage.
The 13'0" x 11'1" kitchen/diner provides plenty of space for family dining and offers scope for a modern upgrade.
Patio doors open onto a private balcony, with stairs leading directly down to the large rear garden, which also benefits from rear access.
A further staircase from the lounge leads to the second floor, where the impressive principal bedroom occupies the converted loft.
Measuring approximately 13'3" x 10'1", this well-presented room features skylights, eaves storage and ample space for king-size bedroom furniture.
The location is ideal for those wanting everything close at hand.
Southend High Street, both Southend Central and Southend Victoria stations, shops, cafés, restaurants and the seafront are all within walking distance.
With approximately 158 years remaining on the lease, peppercorn ground rent and no regular service charge, apart from buildings insurance contributions, the property offers excellent long-term appeal.
Its generous accommodation and central position make it equally attractive as a home or buy-to-let investment.
The seller has found a vacant property to purchase, allowing for a potentially quick sale. EPC Rating: D
