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
A very spacious detached 2 bedroom bungalow with integral garage in sought-after location on the north-eastern fringe of Bridport just a scenic walk across the meadows to supermarkets and into the town centre SITUATION: The property is located about half-way up the gentle slope of Jessopp Avenue which lies on the north-eastern fringe of the town about half-a-mile's walk across Happy Island to the Co-op and Lidl supermarkets and also has close by access onto the cycle route/walk into Bridport town centre and to the coast.
