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
Located just a short walk from award-winning beaches and the bustling town centre with its diverse selection of restaurants, shops, and cafes, this lower ground floor studio flat presents a fantastic opportunity for investors.
The property is ideally positioned to enjoy both the coastal lifestyle and the convenience of town-centre living, making it highly attractive to tenants and buyers alike.
The flat is accessed via a private entrance, set down a few steps, which adds a sense of privacy and separation from neighbouring properties.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a surprisingly spacious and light-filled studio room.
Despite being on the lower ground floor, the room benefits from natural light and a sense of airiness, further enhanced by neutral decor.
A built-in storage cupboard or wardrobe provides convenient space-saving storage within the main living area.
The kitchen is neatly designed and functional, offering a matching range of base and eye-level units that provide ample cupboard space.
There is plenty of worktop area, along with an inset sink positioned beneath a well-lit section of the kitchen.
Integrated appliances include an electric hob with extractor hood above, an oven below, and a base-level fridge/freezer.
In addition, there is designated space and plumbing available for a washing machine, ensuring the flat is fully equipped for comfortable modern living.
The bathroom is fully tiled and presented in a clean, neutral style.
It comprises a matching white three-piece suite, including a full-sized bath with shower attachment, a pedestal wash hand basin, and a WC.
The overall condition of the bathroom is tidy and functional, offering everything needed in a compact, well-designed space.
This property is being sold with no forward chain and a tenant already in situ, making it an ideal, ready-to-go buy-to-let investment.
