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
An exciting opportunity to acquire a site benefitting from planning permission in principle for 22 residential units extending to 0.98ha or thereby.
The site benefits from planning permission in principle which was recently granted for residential development (22 houses).
The Vendor is not aware of any services/connections on the site but all utilities are available at the Drumshoreland Road and the adjacent “James Young House” and the “Club House” of the Pumpherston Golf club.
We understand that adjacent to the site there is mains water, electricity and drainage. Prospective Purchasers should undertake their own due diligence.
