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
Guide - £350,000 - £375,000 Set within the lovely village of Catsfield, Oaklands is a two-bedroom detached bungalow offering an exciting opportunity for someone looking to take on a complete renovation project and create a home entirely their own.
The property now requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, but with generous living space, a good-sized garden and plenty of potential, there is a fantastic opportunity here.
Whether you are looking to renovate the existing bungalow or explore the possibilities of extending and reconfiguring the accommodation, subject of course to the necessary permissions, Oaklands provides a wonderful blank canvas in a sought-after village setting.
For buyers with vision and a love of a project, this could become something really special.
One of the lovely things about Oaklands is the amount of living space it already offers, with a separate lounge and dining room, alongside a good-sized kitchen and conservatory.
The 15ft kitchen sits towards the rear of the bungalow and leads through to the conservatory, creating a natural connection to the garden.
The existing layout offers plenty of flexibility, while for those looking for a more open-plan style of living, there may be scope to rethink and reconfigure the space to create a larger kitchen, dining and living area, subject to the necessary permissions and structural considerations.
The property requires complete renovation throughout, giving its next owner the opportunity to create a home entirely to their own style.
Oaklands offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, both providing comfortable accommodation.
The layout could suit a variety of buyers, whether looking for a permanent home, a downsizing opportunity, or a property with space for visiting family and guests.
The bungalow also benefits from a family bathroom, offering further scope for a new owner to update and personalise the space to their own taste.
The garden is a real highlight of Oaklands, offering a generous amount of outside space and plenty of potential for its next owner.
The size of the plot could provide scope to extend the existing bungalow while still retaining a good-sized garden, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
Whether you choose to extend, landscape, or simply make the most of the existing space, the garden adds enormously to the possibilities the property offers.
There is also a separate garage, which currently requires some attention but provides useful additional storage space.
Oaklands owns the driveway providing access to the property, with the neighbouring property benefiting from a right of access over it.
