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 within the exciting new Crofts Bank development, this brand-new two-bedroom apartment combines modern design, energy-efficient living and a fantastic Urmston location.
Available through Shared Ownership, it provides an affordable opportunity to own a high-quality new home in a thriving Trafford community.
Situated on the ground floor and extending to approximately 656.59 sq ft (61 sq m), the apartment offers well-planned accommodation throughout.
The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has been designed to create a bright and sociable living space, while the stylish fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances.
The home also features two generously sized bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom finished to a high standard.
Additional features include allocated parking, EV charging and all the benefits of a newly built home, including improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.
Crofts Bank is ideally placed for access to Urmston's popular high street, with a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities nearby.
Excellent transport connections by road and rail make commuting to Manchester city centre and surrounding areas straightforward.
With Shared Ownership, purchasers can buy an initial share of between 10% and 75% of the property's full market value, with the flexibility to increase ownership in the future through staircasing.
Based on a full market value of £250,000, examples include: * 10% share: £25,000, rent £515.63 pcm * 25% share: £62,500, rent £429.69 pcm * 50% share: £125,000, rent £286.46 pcm * 75% share: £187,500, rent £143.23 pcm Rent is calculated at 2.75% per annum on the share not owned.
Expected to be ready later this year, Crofts Bank presents an excellent opportunity to secure a contemporary new home in one of Trafford's most sought-after residential locations.
