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
This ideal 2nd (top) floor flat is situated with a traditional sandstone building on a quiet corner of Lomond Street and East Princes Street and benefits from a sea view from the lounge window.
The building itself has a painted front exterior beneath a pitched, natural slate roof featuring pitched dormers.
Access is at the rear of the building via characterful spiral stair within an original tower which also provides a lovely backdrop from the beautifully maintained rear garden.
The garden area is communal and comprises a large lawn, stocked borders, drying area and storage sheds. The gardens run through a few of the adjacent properties which provides a lovely open space.
Internally the apartment has a modern interior and would make an ideal first time buy, a perfect holiday home.
We have also been managing agent for this property over many years and it is a perfect buy to let proposition with the last rental generating almost 10% yield.
The accommodation comprises lockable storm door on the landing (which provide access to this and the adjacent flat), entrance hall with storage cupboard, impressive main lounge/living room with focal point fireplace and dual aspect windows with the front window offering a partial sea view.
