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.

EPC: D Likely to date back to the 1950s/60s, this detached bungalow of brick construction is ripe and ready for updating and possibly extending/remodelling, subject to the necessary consents.
It sits on a plot of about 0.22 of an acre with a tarmac parking area to the front of the house, car port to the side and an East facing garden to the rear, in which there is a timber summer house and block built store, as well as mature trees around the perimeter, including Bramley apple trees, hence the name of the property.
