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.

Built in the 1960s, the property has seen little change over the years and now offers incoming purchasers the chance to enhance and renovate to their own tastes.
The accommodation extends to almost 1,000 sq.
Ft, with the added benefit of a substantial undercroft of a similar size beneath the property, offering excellent potential for further conversion or development, subject to the necessary consents and individual requirements.
