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.

Client Comments "We have loved the house’s quiet position in a small row of just five homes, with no houses immediately opposite.
The south-facing rear garden gets the sun throughout the day, and the living room is a wonderful place to relax and watch the garden, whether the bifold doors are wide open in summer or the rain/snow is rolling by while we sit with a cup of tea.
We have been continually surprised by the wildlife on our doorstep, including a pair of woodpeckers, bats, owls, butterflies and a huge variety of garden birds.
Woodland walks and Polkemmet Country Park are also close by.
The house offers a lovely balance of nature and convenience, with friendly neighbours, nearby shops, easy motorway access, and Armadale and Bathgate train stations only a short drive away."
