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
Are you looking for a spacious two-bedroom traditional flat with generous room sizes, period character and a fantastic location close to Queen's Park? Then this could be the perfect one for you.
Occupying a top-floor position within a traditional sandstone tenement, this generously proportioned two-bedroom flat offers an excellent amount of living space alongside the character and scale associated with a classic Glasgow tenement.
With an impressive living room, substantial dining kitchen and two well-sized bedrooms, the property provides a flexible layout with plenty of potential for buyers looking to put their own stamp on their next home.
Its location in Govanhill also places a fantastic selection of Southside amenities within easy reach.
The accommodation begins with a particularly spacious entrance hallway, which provides access throughout the flat and benefits from useful built-in cupboard storage.
The living room is a real highlight of the property.
Generously proportioned and filled with natural light from two large windows, the room provides plenty of space for comfortable seating and entertaining.
Rich colour choices add character, while the decorative ceiling detail and feature fireplace provide a nod to the property's traditional origins.
The dining kitchen is another excellent-sized room, offering a practical range of fitted units together with generous space for a full-size dining table.
A large window provides plenty of natural light, while the room offers excellent scope for a future owner to update and personalise the space to suit their own tastes.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being particularly impressive in size and offering ample room for a large bed and additional freestanding furniture.
The second bedroom provides a versatile additional space that could work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or home office.
Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room, finished with contemporary tiling and incorporating a walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.
While the property would benefit from some further upgrading and decorative improvement, the generous proportions, traditional character and flexible accommodation provide an excellent starting point for a buyer looking to create a home to their own style.
Albert Road is ideally positioned for enjoying everything Glasgow's vibrant Southside has to offer.
Queen's Park is within easy reach, while the surrounding Govanhill, Strathbungo and Shawlands areas provide an excellent selection of independent cafés, bars, restaurants and shops.
Excellent public transport connections provide convenient access to Glasgow city centre and surrounding areas, making this an attractive option for first-time buyers, professionals and anyone looking for a spacious traditional home in a well-connected Southside location.
