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
Byron Square is a road that loops around three sides of the King George V playing fields, right in the heart of Trumpington.
It's just a short walk from top local amenities, Fawcett Primary School, and the newly built Trumpington Community College.
The house is set back from the road, with an open front garden offering off-street parking. A side gate leads to the rear garden.
Inside, the front door opens into a hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor.
The bright sitting room is at the front of the house, featuring a large window that lets in plenty of natural light, along with built-in shelves on either side of the chimney breast.
The kitchen/dining area has been opened up to create a spacious, open-plan layout perfect for family living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with wall and base-mounted units, wooden countertops, and integrated appliances, including an electric oven, a gas hob, and an extractor hood.
Upstairs, the landing includes a storage cupboard and access to the boarded loft, providing excellent storage space.
There are three generously sized bedrooms—two doubles with built-in wardrobes, and a single room currently used as a study.
The bathroom and w/c are currently separate with the bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over. Outside, the rear garden is mostly laid to lawn and enclosed by wood-panel fencing.
A brick-built shed offers extra storage, and at the end of the garden, a studio with power and lighting makes for an ideal home office space.
Agents note: The property is a Laing Easiform construction. Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community.
It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk.
The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all and Cambridge South Station is due to open in 2025.
The area has three primary schools and a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 with excellent sporting facilities.
Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance. There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre.
There is a major Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury's local.
Trumpington Meadows nature reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus.
Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
