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
Positioned within the vibrant and increasingly popular Deritend district, just moments from Birmingham's creative quarter, this well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment offers an appealing combination of contemporary city living, practical accommodation and excellent access to everything Birmingham has to offer.
Situated on the fourth floor of Avoca Court and extending to approximately 640 sq ft, the property presents an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals and investors looking to establish themselves in a thriving urban location.
Stepping inside, the apartment offers a welcoming sense of space, with neutral interiors and attractive wood-effect flooring flowing throughout the principal living areas and bedrooms.
The generously proportioned reception room provides a versatile setting for everyday living, with ample space to create comfortable seating and dining areas.
Large windows draw in natural light, while the simple, understated finish offers a blank canvas for a purchaser to introduce their own personality and style.
Adjoining the living accommodation, the fitted kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise practicality, featuring a range of cream-coloured cabinetry, contrasting wood-effect work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and integrated cooking facilities.
An opening between the kitchen and reception room creates a sense of connection between the two spaces while retaining the convenience of a separate kitchen.
The accommodation continues with two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from natural light and versatile layouts.
The principal bedroom offers generous proportions with plenty of scope for bedroom furniture, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, sharers or those seeking a dedicated home office.
Completing the interior is a bathroom fitted with a white suite, including a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, complemented by tiled surrounds and a large wall-mounted mirror.
Beyond the apartment itself, residents can enjoy the development's landscaped communal courtyard gardens, providing a welcome pocket of greenery and outdoor space within this urban setting.
The development combines distinctive contemporary architecture with a convenient position close to some of Birmingham's most exciting neighbourhoods.
Avoca Court enjoys a fantastic location on Cheapside, placing the independent cafés, restaurants, bars and creative spaces of Digbeth within easy reach.
The renowned Custard Factory and surrounding cultural quarter offer a lively mix of places to explore, while Birmingham city centre, the Bullring shopping destination and Birmingham's major transport connections are all conveniently accessible.
Whether seeking a first step onto the property ladder, a conveniently located city base or an addition to a property portfolio, this apartment offers the space, flexibility and location to embrace Birmingham city living.
