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.

A Fantastic North Uist Renovation Opportunity with Space, Character & Massive Potential.
Spacious three-bedroom semi-detached chalet villa in North Uist, offering an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful island home, holiday retreat or investment property.
Set in the beautiful and unique landscape of North Uist, this former local authority property is a home with genuine potential.
While the property would benefit from modernisation and refurbishment, it offers a generous layout, good-sized accommodation and excellent scope for a buyer looking for a project in one of Scotland's most spectacular island locations.
The ground floor provides a particularly spacious large lounge, ideal as the heart of the home, alongside a kitchen/breakfast room with plenty of room for family dining and everyday living.
There is also a ground-floor bedroom, a useful walk-in cupboard, under-stairs cupboard and dedicated electrics cupboard. An integral external coal store provides additional practical storage.
Upstairs, the property offers two further bedrooms, together with a bathroom and landing, creating comfortable three-bedroom accommodation overall. Loft storage provides valuable additional space.
The garden offers further potential and includes a large steel box-profile clad workshop - an excellent feature for anyone needing substantial storage, workshop space, a hobby area or somewhere to pursue a business or practical interest, subject to any necessary consents.
For the purchaser prepared to undertake improvement works, this property could be transformed into a comfortable and characterful island residence.
The existing accommodation provides a solid starting point, while the spacious layout and substantial workshop add considerable versatility.
Whether you're looking for a permanent North Uist home, an island escape, a holiday property or a renovation project, this property deserves serious consideration.
Set within the extraordinary landscape of North Uist, this property offers the opportunity to embrace a genuinely special island lifestyle.
North Uist is renowned for its sweeping white-sand beaches, flower-rich machair, countless freshwater lochs, abundant wildlife and fascinating prehistoric heritage.
From spectacular Atlantic sunsets and coastal walks to fishing, birdwatching and exploring ancient archaeological sites, there is an enormous amount to discover.
The island combines a peaceful, unhurried way of life with a welcoming local community and a strong Gaelic and crofting heritage.
Lochmaddy provides local amenities and is the island's principal ferry port, while the causeway connections to the other Uist islands and nearby Benbecula make exploring the wider Hebrides straightforward.
For anyone dreaming of a home, retreat or renovation project in a truly remarkable island setting, North Uist offers the chance to live life at a different pace - surrounded by sea, sky, wildlife and some of Scotland's most beautiful landscapes.
