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.

2,800 sq ft | Large Plot | £775,000 If space, style and flexibility are high on your list, this impressive five bedroom detached home on Mayford Road delivers in all the right ways.
Set on one of the larger plots along the road, this extended executive-style residence offers around 2,800 square feet of accommodation.
The current owners have completed a nearly full internal renovation, creating a home that feels fresh, contemporary and ready to move straight into.
At the heart of the property is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space.
Sleek, modern and designed for real life, it features a generous island and bi-fold doors that open onto the garden, bringing the outside in and making it ideal for entertaining or relaxed family evenings.
There is a real sense of light and flow throughout. The extension above the garage adds valuable versatility, currently arranged as a large studio space.
It offers fantastic potential to create a luxurious principal suite or could be reconfigured into two additional bedrooms, subject to the necessary consents.
Whether you need space to grow, work from home or accommodate guests, this layout adapts with you.
Other benefits include a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, a double integral garage and lounge/family room. Outside, the property continues to impress.
A generous private rear garden offers room to unwind, entertain or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. To the front, a driveway provides ample off-road parking.
Location Positioned in a much-sought-after Chatham neighborhood, this property enjoys optimal proximity to a plethora of local amenities.
Three esteemed Primary Schools, namely Swingate Primary, St Benedicts Catholic Primary, and Lordswood School, lie within convenient walking distance.
Nearby, Greenacre Academy and Walderslade Girls School, both highly regarded, cater to secondary education needs.
For commuters, a network of local bus routes grants access to both Rainham and Gillingham Train Stations with Rochester a little further away, facilitating seamless travel into London and beyond.
Local shops and conveniences also lie within close reach. Ebbsfleet train station is a mere 20 minutes drive away, providing a 10 minute commute into Stratford, and 20 minutes into St Pancras on HS1.
