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
258 Oldtown Road presents an excellent opportunity for property investors.
With a sitting tenant in place this mid-terrace two-storey home is well suited as a ready-made buy-to-let option, with good local amenities nearby and easy access to the city centre.
Set back from the road with a small lawn and path to the front door, the property sits within a row of similar homes in a well-established residential area.
Inside, the ground floor comprises an entrance hallway with light green walls, tiled flooring and practical under-stairs space for storage.
The sitting room is filled with natural light from a large front-facing window and has a radiator beneath.
Wood laminate flooring runs throughout, paired with light grey painted walls and timber skirtings and doors that bring warmth and contrast.
There’s space here for sofas and other furnishings, making it a practical and comfortable everyday living area.
Double bi-fold doors connect the sitting room to a separate dining room at the rear, allowing the two rooms to function either as open-plan or distinct spaces.
The same flooring continues through, and a large window looks out to the back garden, drawing in additional daylight.
With room for a full-sized dining table, it's a dedicated space for family meals and entertaining.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the home and is fitted with wooden base and wall cabinets with chrome handles, dark acrylic worktops and matching splashbacks.
There’s space for a freestanding cooker and slimline dishwasher, with plumbing in place for a washing machine, too.
Tiled flooring continues from the hall and soft green wall tones keep the space bright and neutral. A back door opens from here into the garden.
Heading up to the first floor, the staircase is carpeted in grey with light blue painted walls and a white hand rail. Upstairs you’ll then find two bedrooms, a box room and the family bathroom.
The main bedroom is a spacious double with grey walls, soft carpet and a feature wall with colourful striped wallpaper.
A window to the rear brings in natural light, with a radiator beneath and a built-in double cupboard adds useful storage.
The second bedroom is front-facing with grey painted walls, a built-in single cupboard, radiator and a light carpet underfoot.
The third room - a smaller box room - is finished in light tones and currently used as a child’s playroom, but would also make a suitable nursery or home office.
A window and small radiator are handily positioned. The bathroom includes a white toilet, wash basin and bath with a Triton Enrich electric shower over and screen to the side.
Marble-effect tiles surround the wet areas, with cream painted walls elsewhere while a large frosted window brings in natural light.
The rear garden is a particular highlight, offering a split-level layout that’s well suited to families.
A paved patio outside the kitchen door is ideal for outdoor seating or dining, with steps then leading up to an elevated lawn and raised planting sections.
A path continues to the back of the garden, where two sheds provide external storage, one of concrete panel construction with a profile roof, the other timber with a felted roof.
Tall timber fencing encloses the space, creating a secure and private setting.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas boiler located in the kitchen, connected to radiators throughout and providing hot water on demand.
Windows are double glazed with replacement PVC units on the ground floor and timber double glazing upstairs. Mains-connected smoke alarms are installed in key rooms.
With its solid layout, enclosed outdoor space and sitting tenant already in place, 258 Oldtown Road offers a turnkey investment in a popular part of Inverness.
