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.

The home retains and enhances its Georgian period features, including astragal windows and working shutters throughout.
Entry is via a wide entrance hallway, from which all reception rooms and bedrooms are accessed.
To the rear of the property is a dining kitchen fitted with wooden cabinets and solid wood worktops, along with integrated appliances including a four-ring gas hob, electric oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
Patio doors open directly onto the shared garden. The living room, also located at the rear, features solid wood flooring and a wood-burning stove.
The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from an en suite bathroom with a separate shower.
Bedrooms two and three are also front-facing doubles, featuring solid wood floors, astragal windows, and working shutters. A stylish shower room is directly opposite bedroom three.
The property offers excellent storage throughout, with several large cupboards.
The shared rear garden is well maintained, with a lawn and mature shrub borders, and includes a path leading to a rear gate opening onto Lennox Street Lane.
To the front, a patio area provides access to two large under-pavement cellars, the larger of which is lined and powered and currently used as a workshop.
EPC Band C Clarendon Crescent is one of the most desirable addresses in Edinburgh's West End.
Designed by John Tait and built between 1850 and 1853 on land acquired by property developer and former Lord Provost of Edinburgh, John Learmonth, the crescent forms part of an elegant architectural scheme that also includes Eton Terrace and Oxford Terrace.
The West End remains one of the capital's most sought-after residential districts, admired for its striking Georgian and Victorian terraces, wide streets and well-maintained communal gardens.
Residents of Clarendon Crescent may apply for access to the beautiful Dean Gardens, subject to a modest annual fee.
The city centre, with its excellent range of shopping, dining and cultural amenities, is just a ten-minute walk away.
The property lies within the catchment area for Flora Stevenson Primary School or St Mary's RC Primary School, and for secondary education at Broughton High School or St Thomas of Aquin's RC High School.
A number of highly regarded independent schools are also nearby, including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools and St George's School for Girls.
