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
Situated on the first floor of a b-Listed traditional tenement in the heart of sought-after Marchmont, this impressive four-bedroom flat offers beautifully presented and exceptionally versatile accommodation extending to approximately 107 sq m.
