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
16C Buckingham Terrace is a beautifully finished four bedroom duplex apartment, situated over the second and third floors of a stunning Victorian building.
The lower level features a large dining / kitchen room at the rear with stunning views.
The bespoke kitchen has a marble-effect quartz Silestone worktop over green wooden cabinets with aged brass handles.
The kitchen island acts as a focal point with seating for four at the breakfast bar and a four-ring induction hob with integrated ventilation.
The kitchen flows into a generous dining space creating an ideal layout for family dining or entertaining guests , whilst a useful utility room with matching units and worktop sits just off the kitchen.
The large sitting room is to the front of the second floor, with period features including an original fireplace and ornate cornicing.
A living room also lies to the front, with a large window overlooking the trees opposite. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout this floor. A WC completes the second floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits at the front with a dressing room of floor-to-ceiling cabinets and a stunning en suite shower room with underfloor heated tiles.
A second double bedroom is also at the front, while two further double bedrooms occupy the rear. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath sits centrally on this floor.
The apartment offers excellent storage throughout, including attic space accessed via a hatch in the third-floor hallway with a fitted Ramsay ladder. Ethernet wiring runs throughout the property.
EPC Band C Buckingham Terrace is one of the most desirable addresses in Edinburgh's West End.
Designed by John Chesser and built in 1876 on land bought by property developer James Steel, it was one of Steel's first developments.
The terrace forms part of the long-delayed residential expansion of the city in the late 19th century to the north of the Dean Bridge.
Unlike earlier phases of the New Town, the terraces of the Dean estate were exclusively individual, affluent family houses with lavish Victorian detailing; many have since been subdivided into apartments.
The West End is one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential areas.
Located in the city centre, it is characterised by beautiful Georgian and Victorian terraces, wide streets and well-kept communal gardens.
There is excellent shopping in the area with Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer all within a short drive.
Residents of Buckingham Terrace can apply for access to Belgrave Crescent Gardens and Dean Gardens upon payment of a modest annual fee.
16 Buckingham Terrace falls within the catchment for Flora Stevenson's Primary School or St Mary's RC Primary School, and Broughton High School or St Thomas of Aquin's RC High School.
Other excellent independent schools nearby include Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS and St George's School for Girls.
