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
Set within a modern development in the Slackbuie area of Inverness, 45 Orchid Avenue is a detached two-storey home offering a practical four-bedroom layout with plenty of flexibility for family life.
Built around 2014 and positioned a short distance from local amenities, the property combines the feel of a modern home with the convenience of being around three miles from Inverness city centre.
From the outside, the house has a smart modern appearance, with the property sitting within its own areas of garden ground to the front and rear.
The gardens are partially enclosed by block walls and timber fencing, giving you defined outdoor space around the home.
There is also driveway parking available for multiple cars, which is a useful feature for a family-sized property.
The rear garden also includes a greenhouse and various sheds, providing useful additional storage and outdoor space.
Inside, the entrance hallway gives access to the main ground floor accommodation, with the layout making good use of the available space.
The lounge is a comfortable main living area, providing plenty of room for sofas and other furniture while giving you a separate space away from the kitchen and dining area.
The kitchen/diner is designed around both everyday practicality and family living.
There is a combination of floor and wall-mounted units providing useful storage and workspace, while the adjoining dining area gives you room for a table and chairs.
The open arrangement makes this a sociable part of the home, with plenty of flexibility in how you choose to use the space.
Also on the ground floor is a separate utility room, giving you somewhere to keep laundry and household appliances away from the main kitchen.
This is a particularly useful addition in a busy family home, helping to keep the main living areas feeling organised. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Heading upstairs, the landing leads through to four bedrooms, giving the property an impressive amount of sleeping accommodation for a modern home of this size.
The layout offers plenty of flexibility, whether all four rooms are needed as bedrooms or one is adapted into a home office, dressing room or hobby space.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, giving you a private bathroom alongside the main bedroom.
The remaining bedrooms provide further comfortable accommodation and could easily suit children, guests or anyone needing a dedicated space to work from home.
The main family bathroom is also located upstairs and includes a bath with an over-bath shower, alongside a WC and wash hand basin.
Having both the family bathroom and en-suite helps the property work particularly well for a larger household.
Throughout the house, the accommodation has been finished in a style consistent with its age, with painted or tiled walls, painted ceilings and modern internal joinery.
The property is heated by a mains gas boiler serving water-filled radiators throughout, while drainage, water, electricity and gas are all connected to mains services.
The Home Report also found the property to be in good order for its age and type, with no essential repairs identified.
The main elements of the property were given Category 1 ratings, meaning no immediate action or repair was considered necessary at the time of inspection.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a downstairs WC, separate utility room, kitchen/diner, gardens and parking for multiple cars, 45 Orchid Avenue offers a versatile family home in a popular residential part of Inverness.
Its modern construction, practical layout and convenient position make it a property with plenty to offer. Arrange your private viewing with Hamish Homes to see what life here could look like.
