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 well-located flat with excellent potential, ideal for investors, developers, or cash buyers seeking a value-add opportunity in South Lanarkshire.
Blantyre is a well-established town in South Lanarkshire, located just a short distance from Glasgow City Centre, making it a popular choice for commuters and investors alike.
The area offers a range of local amenities including shops, supermarkets, cafes and leisure facilities, alongside reputable schooling at both primary and secondary levels.
Excellent transport links are available, with nearby road networks including the M74 providing easy access to Glasgow and beyond, while regular bus and rail services connect Blantyre to surrounding towns and the city centre.

We would urge you to register a couple of days in advance as we cannot guarantee you will be registered on time to bid if we only receive your documents on the day of the auction.
It is imperative that you register to bid in the name you wish the property to be registered with Land Registry on completion.
If buying in a company name, please ensure to detail the company name on the registration. Once the property is exchanged, the vendor could decline to accept any change.
Buyers should review the legal pack with their solicitor and ensure they do their own due diligence before deciding to purchase.
All property offered at auction is under an unconditional contract, requiring the successful buyer to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit and complete within the terms of the contract, which will normally be 14 or 28 days.
For these reasons, it is suitable for cash buyers only.
