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
Well-presented, one-bedroom second-floor (top) flat, forming part of an established residential development.
With leafy open views, set on a quiet residential street in the heart of Dalkieth town centre, Midlothian.
Welcoming you into the property, the hallway provides access to all rooms, creating a seamless and functional living space.
The carpeted flooring flows effortlessly from the hallway into the living room, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere, with the room also providing further access to the kitchen.
The kitchen has been finished with wood-effect flooring, granite-effect worktops, and a tiled-effect splashback, along with a stainless steel sink with drainer, a cooker with gas hob, washing machine, and fridge/freezer.
The bedroom continues the carpeted flooring from the hallway and is finished with light, tasteful décor throughout, while also benefiting from an additional storage cupboard.
Completing the property is the family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite and a shower over the bath.

The area is ideally positioned with quick access to the city bypass, offering excellent commuter links to Edinburgh, nearby towns, and major retail destinations.
Straiton Retail Park is close by and features a Sainsbury’s, M&S Food, Boots, various high-street retailers, and one of only two ikea stores in Scotland.
