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 Nitty Gritty (Jurassic Park edition) As an integral part of the community, we’ve explored the property jungle and gotten to know the best professionals for the job.
If we recommend one to you, it will be in good faith that they’ll help make your property journey as smooth as possible — with hopefully fewer unexpected encounters than a trip to Jurassic Park!
Please be aware that a small number of the professionals we recommend (certainly not the majority) may, on occasion, pay us a referral fee of up to £200.
You are under no obligation to use any third party we have recommended. The choice remains entirely yours — no dinosaurs, lawyers or estate agents will chase you down the corridor!
Should you successfully have an offer accepted on one of our properties and proceed to purchase it, there is an administration charge of £36 inc. VAT per person.
This non-refundable charge covers the completion of our Anti-Money Laundering Identity Checks.
Unlike the dinosaurs, these checks are very much real — and unfortunately, velociraptors cannot be accepted as proof of identity.
