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 dining room is perfectly suited to entertaining, flowing through doors into a light-filled conservatory.
With its tiled floor and plumbing for utility appliances, this space is both practical and versatile.
The kitchen, overlooking the garden, is fitted with a range of built-in wall and base units, along with a freestanding oven, offering a functional and pleasant cooking space.
