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
Set along Castle Street in the heart of Guildford town centre, this first-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers a convenient position just moments from the High Street and Guildford Castle grounds.
With its traditional frontage and central setting, the property is well placed for enjoying the shops, cafés and restaurants nearby, while Guildford's mainline station is less than a mile away.
Accessed via a communal entrance and staircase, the apartment opens into a central hallway connecting the accommodation.
The living room sits at the front of the building, with a window overlooking Castle Street bringing in plenty of natural light.
At over 14 feet in length, there is room for both seating and a dining or working area, while wooden flooring and built-in cupboards add to the practicality of the space.
The separate kitchen is fitted with white shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops and contrasting tiled flooring, with an integrated oven and hob.
The double bedroom is positioned towards the rear of the apartment and includes built-in storage, while the bathroom has a glazed shower enclosure, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Extending to approximately 424 sq ft, the apartment makes good use of its footprint, with additional storage off the hallway.
The property has also benefited from new windows, installed with listed building consent, alongside a recently replaced roof to the building.
Its location is a particular advantage, with Guildford's historic High Street and Castle grounds both close by, offering a combination of town centre convenience and access to green space.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property is leasehold with approximately 108 years remaining.
Local Area Guildford continues to be one of Surrey’s most established town centres, combining independent cafés, restaurants and shops with fast rail connections into London Waterloo as well as a number of renowned educational establishments.
The nearby River Wey, surrounding countryside and access towards the Surrey Hills further add to the appeal of the location.
