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
Brighton and Beck offer to online auction this one-bedroom residential property on Preston Road, Linlithgow.
The property extends to approximately 55 sq m and comprises a living room, double bedroom, separate kitchen and bathroom.
The accommodation is well proportioned, with a generous principal living space and bedroom, and offers a straightforward layout with good potential for improvement.
The property requires a full programme of refurbishment and modernisation throughout and is likely to appeal to investors, developers and purchasers looking for a project.
The kitchen, bathroom, flooring and general décor would all benefit from upgrading, with the property being sold in its present condition.
Once refurbished, it could offer strong appeal as a first-time buyer property, owner-occupier home or buy-to-let investment, subject to the usual consents and purchaser due diligence.
Linlithgow is one of West Lothian’s most popular and historic towns, offering a wide range of local shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities.
The town benefits from excellent transport links, including Linlithgow railway station with regular services towards Edinburgh and Glasgow, together with convenient access to the M9 motorway.
The area is also well known for Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow Loch and the wider countryside surrounding the town, making it an attractive location for commuters and local residents alike.
