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 spacious three-bedroom first-floor flat occupies a superb coastal position, boasting impressive views across Thurso Beach, Thurso East, the Pentland Firth, Dunnet, Scrabster and Orkney.
Formerly two separate one-bedroom flats, the property offers excellent potential for landlords or those exploring the Airbnb market.
Requiring modernisation, the flat benefits from UPVC double glazing and features a private entrance with stairs leading to the first-floor landing.
The accommodation includes an open-plan living room/kitchen/diner, a generous master bedroom with triple-aspect windows, two additional double bedrooms, and two full bathrooms.
With two independent electric meters and water tanks already in place, the layout lends itself well to reinstating the original two-flat configuration if desired.
A quiet location and yet only a short walk from the town centre viewing is highly recommended. The floor coverings, curtains and blinds as fitted are included in the sale.
Thurso, one of the two main towns of the district has shopping, professional, medical and educational facilities.
From Thurso there are regular bus and rail services south and from Wick airport, approximately 20 miles south, there are regular scheduled air services. Inverness is approximately 2.5 hours’ drive.
