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
Set on the first floor of a modern David Wilson development, Leyland Road is an exceptionally well-presented two-bedroom apartment offering bright, generously proportioned accommodation in the heart of Wester Inch.
With tasteful interiors, two genuine double bedrooms and allocated parking, this is a home that feels comfortable and established from the moment you step inside.
The property is accessed through a secure communal entrance, leading to the first-floor accommodation. Inside, the welcoming entrance hallway immediately sets the tone for the presentation throughout.
Herringbone-style engineered wood flooring adds warmth and character, while a useful built-in cupboard provides practical storage for coats, shoes and everyday essentials, as well as housing the fuse box.
The lounge is one of the home's real strengths.
Generous in scale and filled with natural light from the front-facing window, there is ample room to create a comfortable living space without compromising on furniture or layout.
The continuation of the wood flooring gives the room a smart, cohesive finish, while the tasteful décor makes this a space that is ready to enjoy from day one.
Whether settling in for a quiet evening or entertaining friends, the proportions allow the room to adapt easily to everyday life.
Positioned separately from the lounge, the kitchen is well arranged with a practical selection of fitted wall and base units providing useful storage and preparation space.
Integrated appliances include a gas hob, oven and extractor hood, while there is dedicated space for a freestanding fridge freezer and washing machine.
A fitted cupboard discreetly houses the boiler, and a front-facing window brings plenty of daylight into the room.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, giving the apartment a versatility that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear and offers particularly generous proportions.
A full run of mirrored fitted wardrobes provides excellent storage while helping to enhance the sense of space and light within the room.
There is plenty of room for additional bedroom furniture, creating a calm and uncluttered retreat. Bedroom two overlooks the front of the property and is another bright, well-proportioned double room.
Tastefully decorated and flexible in its use, it would work equally well as a permanent bedroom, guest room or a combination of bedroom and home-working space.
Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, finished with practical vinyl flooring and comprising a WC, inset wash-hand basin with fitted storage below, and bath with electric shower over.
Externally, the property benefits from allocated parking to the rear, adding further everyday convenience.
With its spacious layout, two double bedrooms and appealing presentation, Leyland Road offers an easy-to-maintain home without sacrificing room to live.
The combination of a generous lounge, excellent bedroom space and a well-connected Wester Inch location makes it particularly well suited to first-time buyers, couples, downsizers or those looking for a modern investment property.
