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.

Forest Way is a traditional semi-detached home, set in the ever-popular Heworth area of York, just off Stockton Lane.
The property offers great space throughout, with two reception rooms, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a manageable garden, single garage and off-street parking.
The property offers excellent potential to update and extend (subject to the necessary planning consents), providing an exciting opportunity to create a fantastic family home.
In addition, the property benefits from a recently fitted combination boiler and double glazing throughout. A front garden and a driveway lead to the attached garage and entrance porch.
Inside, there’s a welcoming hallway with stairs to the first floor and access to the main living space.
The sitting room is a good size, featuring a wide bay window that brings in plenty of natural light, along with a feature fireplace.
To the rear, there is a second reception/dining room, again with a bay window overlooking the garden, stripped pine flooring and a gas fire.
Off this room is the kitchen, which offers a range of units, a useful walk-in pantry and space for appliances.
There is also additional storage to the side, currently arranged as store rooms, offering clear potential to reconfigure and create a larger open-plan kitchen or breakfast room if desired.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third smaller double, all with either feature or blocked fireplaces. These are served by a house bathroom and separate WC.
The rear garden is a good size but would benefit from landscaping. It currently provides space for a patio, a decked seating area and a lawn.
Ideally located just off Stockton Lane, close to Heworth Village, the property offers excellent access to York city centre, the outer ring road and Monks Cross.

Offer Procedure - Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs.
Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor.
We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.
Anti Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers.
These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract). AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion.
If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.
We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf.
Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.
A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors.
The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.
Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
