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
Bright. Spacious. Turn-key. Perfect location. What more do you need? Situated on Old Wharf Road, this first floor apartment at Platinum Apartments is the kind of home that just feels right.
It's a smart, modern one bedroom flat with an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner, big windows that flood the space with natural light, and an allocated parking space thrown in for good measure.
With the canal on your doorstep and Stourbridge town centre a short stroll away, it really is the best of both worlds. We asked them what made them buy it...
"The combination of the layout and the location made it stand out to me. The flat felt well laid out and open plan, which I love.
I loved that it's just a short walk into Stourbridge town centre for shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs, and it's right by the canal, which was perfect for peaceful walks in the mornings and evenings after work.
It has the best of both worlds, which is what tipped the decision for me. One of the standouts is how close you are to arguably the best pub in Stourbridge, The Old Wharf.
I've spent many summer evenings in the beer garden overlooking the canal, and cosy Sunday roasts by the log burner in autumn.
It helps that one of the best Chinese takeaways, the White Rose, sits right next door.
Commuting has always been easy too, with Stourbridge Town station and Stourbridge Junction both just short of ten minutes away." What about the flat itself?
"The first thing that struck me was how bright and welcoming the flat felt. I loved the big windows that let the natural light in, that was probably the first thing to stand out to me.
I've always loved how open and spacious it feels, particularly the open-plan living space.
It has been amazing for hosting friends and family, as well as cosy nights watching movies and cooking a nice meal. Having an allocated parking spot has been a huge bonus too.
It means there's never any faff about where to park when you get home. We also added some modern tiling in the kitchen, which really emphasised that homely feel we love." Our agents say...
This one is turn-key, and it shows.
Walk in and the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner does exactly what it should, giving you a genuinely sociable space to live in, not just a room to tick off a list.
Those big windows aren't an afterthought either. They flood the whole apartment with light, morning through evening, and make the flat feel far bigger than its footprint.
The double bedroom gives you proper space to unwind, and with an intercom system on the main door and secure, fob-access entry to the block, it's a place you can feel genuinely relaxed coming home to.
Add in the allocated parking space, and the fact you're two minutes from Stourbridge town centre by car and a short walk from the canal, and you've got a flat that works brilliantly whether you're a first time buyer or a couple after a smart, low-maintenance base.
Quiet road, everything you need close by. This one won't hang around. Get in touch with ap Morgan Stourbridge to arrange a viewing.
