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
A charming late Georgian three-bedroom semi-detached house with a beautiful garden in the historic area of Fisherrow in Musselburgh.
This former fishing village, just east of Portobello, has become a desirable location renowned for its sandy beach, quaint 17th century harbour and scenic views over the Firth of Forth.
Built in circa 1820, Forth House is situated in an enviable position on a quiet street overlooking Fisherrow Bowling Green and Links, with views towards the Firth of Forth beyond.
In addition, at the end of the street flows the scenic River Esk with two footbridges allowing convenient access to Musselburgh High Street together with a variety of shops and restaurants.
There are some lovely walks directly from the door both towards the beach and along the river - ideal for those with children and dogs.
