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.

Light and well-presented, two-bedroom, upper villa with gardens, a driveway and superb views towards the Pentland Hills.
Located on a quiet side street, off the main road, in the popular Colinton Mains area, south-west of the city centre.
A welcoming entrance opens to the carpeted stairs leading to the upper hall, providing access throughout the majority of the property.
The generous living room offers ample space for both relaxation and dining, featuring a shelved press, light neutral decor, carpeted flooring and a bright westerly aspect, allowing for excellent natural light throughout the day.

It includes an integrated gas hob and double oven, a sink with a drainer, and space for additional freestanding appliances.
There are two spacious double bedrooms positioned at the front of the property.
The main bedroom is particularly generous in size, while both rooms benefit from light decor, laminate flooring and excellent space for freestanding furniture.
Bedroom two also includes a useful built-in storage cupboard.
The accommodation is completed by a family-sized bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with a shower over, a wash hand basin and a WC.
