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 well-positioned investment opportunity, this licensed five bedroom HMO is situated in the ever-popular GU2 area of Guildford, known for its strong and consistent rental demand from both students and working professionals.
The property has been arranged to provide practical and comfortable shared accommodation, in line with HMO requirements, offering an attractive, income-generating asset for investors.
A key benefit is the existing income arrangement, with a company currently in place providing a guaranteed rent, allowing a new owner to enjoy immediate returns with minimal void risk.
Internally, the property features a generous communal reception and dining space, ideal for shared use, alongside a well-equipped kitchen offering good storage and preparation space.
Each of the five bedrooms is suitably sized to provide tenants with their own private living area.
Outside, there is an easy-to-maintain garden space, adding further appeal for occupants without the burden of significant upkeep.
Guildford is a vibrant, bustling market town situated in the centre of the county of Surrey within easy reach of Heathrow and Gatwick airports, and with excellent rail links to London (40 minutes) and served by the M25, M3 and A3.
The town centre offers a variety of entertainment venues, including The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and G Live, as well as excellent shopping opportunities and a variety of restaurants and bars.
The town is situated close to the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for walking, taking in views over the town, the Surrey countryside and the London skyline.
