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.

Continuing through, there is a fitted communal kitchen that leads past to a functional ground-floor bathroom suite, alongside direct access out to a generous, low-maintenance rear garden.
First Floor The split-level first-floor landing provides access to two further good-sized double bedrooms, the second bathroom suite, and a versatile spare room?perfect as a study space, dedicated storage, or tenant communal utility area.
Investment Highlights The property is presented in fair, functional order throughout with proven historic occupancy across all four rooms.
With the current two tenancies expiring at the end of next month, buyers enjoy total flexibility: Retain the existing tenants and immediately let the remaining two rooms, or take full vacant possession to refresh cosmetics and remarket all four rooms at the prevailing market rate of 500 pcm (24,000 pa).

The property can be acquired with tenants in situ or with full vacant possession.
