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
Brighton and Beck offer to online auction this three-bedroom semi-detached home on Garshake Road, Dumbarton, presenting an excellent opportunity for investors, developers and owner-occupiers looking to take on a refurbishment project.
The property requires internal modernisation throughout and offers clear scope to add value.
The property would therefore suit a range of purchasers, including those seeking a buy-to-let or serviced accommodation investment, refurbishment and resale opportunity, or a residential home that can be improved to suit their own requirements.
The combination of a competitive guide price, significant margin to the anticipated end value and scope for improvement makes this an attractive value-add opportunity.
Garshake Road is situated within Dumbarton, a well-established West Dunbartonshire town offering a wide range of everyday amenities, schooling, leisure facilities and transport connections.
Dumbarton benefits from regular rail services across West Dunbartonshire, with Dumbarton East and Dumbarton Central stations both accessible from the Garshake Road area, providing connections towards Glasgow and surrounding destinations.
The town is also served by regular bus services and enjoys good access to the wider road network, while its position places it conveniently for both Glasgow and the Loch Lomond area.
