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
Fresh paint, new carpets and room to make yourself at home.
This twobedroom flat on Pilton Drive North offers a straightforward starting point for your first purchase, your next move or a rental investment.
The hallway leads to a generous double bedroom and a second bedroom that could work equally well as a guest room or a dedicated space to work from home.
The lounge has room for both relaxing and dining, with a decorative fireplace adding a focal point, the fire in situ is not in working order and will need replaced/removed.
Just off it, the L-shaped kitchen benefits from natural light through its own window. The bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower.
There are local shops and everyday essentials nearby, with a wider choice at Craigleith Retail Park.
Bus services connect Pilton with central Edinburgh and surrounding areas, while nearby green spaces offer somewhere to get outdoors. The A90 is also within reach for journeys beyond the city.
At a fixed price of £135,000, the flat is priced £5,000 below its Home Report valuation of £140,000.
For buyers considering letting it out, the estimated rent of £1,200 per month would give an indicative gross yield of approximately 11% at the asking price, before purchase costs, running expenses and any periods without a tenant.
