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.

The front door opens onto the entrance area with storage cupboard, which in turn leads onto a contemporary open plan sitting / dining / kitchen area which creates the heart of the home for all of the inhabitants to congregate.
