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
A chain-free three-bedroom renovation opportunity with a huge garden, driveway and exciting potential — with the big-ticket basics already in place.
This is exactly the kind of property buyers ask for but rarely find: a home with real potential, a generous plot, a large rear garden and enough already completed behind the scenes to make the project feel far more achievable.
Set on Holcombe Road in Chatham, this chain-free three-bedroom home is ideal for buyers looking to create value, whether as a first home, renovation project, investment or resale opportunity.
The property does require cosmetic and improvement works, but importantly, a number of the key fundamentals are already in place.
There is gas-fired central heating, double glazing, electrics in place and the property has been completely re-rendered externally within the last 18 months, with historical damp issues now understood to have been resolved.
Inside, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides approximately 756 sq ft of internal space.
The ground floor includes a front reception room, kitchen, bathroom and access out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, giving the layout good flexibility for families, first-time buyers or investors. The works required are clear and manageable for the right buyer.
The property would benefit from full redecoration, new carpets or flooring, skirting, a replacement kitchen and bathroom, along with general finishing throughout.
For anyone wanting a project without starting from absolute scratch, this could be a fantastic opportunity. Outside is where this home really stands out.
The rear garden is a brilliant size, measuring approximately 68’6 x 26’2, offering a level of outside space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point.
Whether landscaped into a family garden, entertaining space, children’s play area or simply tidied and improved over time, it gives the next owner a huge amount to work with.
There is also a driveway to the side providing off-road parking for one car, which is a valuable addition in this location.
Holcombe Road is well placed for everyday convenience, with access to Chatham town centre, local shops, schools, bus routes and Chatham railway station.
The wider Medway area is also easily reached, including Gillingham, Rochester and the surrounding road links, making the location practical for commuters, families and investors alike.
For buyers with vision, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity: chain free, three bedrooms, driveway, large garden, key basics already in place and huge scope to improve.
