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
Opportunity to acquire an 80% Golden Share* of a bright and tastefully presented, two-bedroom, mid-terrace house with a private garden and residential parking.
Located in a quiet, modern residential development, adjacent to a shared 'village green' in the Newcraighall area, south-east of Edinburgh city centre.
A welcoming entrance leads into the property, with a convenient WC located just off the hallway as you enter.
From here, the hallway opens into the bright and spacious open-plan living room and kitchen, finished with light and tasteful décor and contemporary flooring throughout.
The space provides direct access to the private garden, creating an ideal setting for entertaining guests thanks to the seamless and functional layout.
The kitchen features a modern finish with stylish countertops, a stainless steel sink with drainer, integrated oven and electric hob with canopy above, microwave, and fridge/freezer, while the washing machine is neatly housed within the utility/storage cupboard.
Upstairs provides access to both bedrooms, each finished with carpeted flooring and benefiting from built-in cupboards, ideal for additional storage space.
Completing the property is the family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite.
Newcraighall is a residential area situated on the east side of the city, conveniently located next to the Portobello/Musselburgh bypass, which provides easy access to the M8 and M9 motorways.
The district benefits from proximity to excellent schools, higher education institutions, and hospitals, along with efficient transport links such as frequent bus services to Edinburgh city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Nearby, residents can use Newcraighall Park and Ride and the Newcraighall train station for added convenience.
The area boasts a wide range of local amenities and leisure options, including cinemas, a gym, restaurants, coffee shops, and major shopping at Fort Kinnaird Retail Park.
Outdoor activities are well catered for with Holyrood Park and the Portobello Esplanade offering walking, jogging, and cycling routes, plus several golf courses located within easy reach.
*Sold at 80% of open market value. The process for Golden Share is similar to a standard house purchase, and the applicant(s) own 100% of the property.
However, the applicant(s) must demonstrate that they are eligible for the Golden Share and provide all the necessary evidence with their application.
