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 two bedroom end terrace home, positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac in Dufftown, would make a great first home, suit a couple looking for a little more room or work well for a small family.
The house sits below road level, with steps leading down through the front garden to the entrance. A small lawn is alongside the path, with colourful borders around the front.
There’s also a small parking area to the side. The front door opens into the hallway, where the staircase rises in front of you to the first floor.
Cream walls are broken up by a patterned decorative border, while patterned carpet covers the stairs.
The lounge is a large room with three walls finished in a warm shade while the far wall has silver and grey floral wallpaper.
This wall houses the decorative electric fire with a brass insert and white hearth. The carpet has wide stripes in cream, brown, grey and black, giving the room another strong feature.
A large front window has a radiator below and brings plenty of daylight into the room.
The size means there’s enough floor space for a full sofa setup and additional furniture without things feeling crowded. The kitchen sits at the rear and has a much lighter finish.
White cabinets run along both sides with curved silver handles and light grey worktops above. Timber effect flooring continues the full length of the room.
The stainless steel sink and drainer sit directly beneath the window, while white tiling provides a splashback along the worktop areas.
What really gives the kitchen its character though, is the decor, with small red square patterns amongst the cream wallpaper design. A door at the end takes you into the rear porch.
This is a glazed space sitting at the top of the external steps, with windows looking out across the trees and towards the surrounding area.
Upstairs, the first of the bedrooms sits at the rear and has a very distinctive purple colour scheme.
Two walls are covered in wallpaper patterned with large purple flowers and soft grey leaves, while the carpet is a deep purple, too.
The remaining walls are painted white, while a built-in wardrobe with louvred doors takes care of storage. Bedroom two is another double but has a completely different look.
Soft mauve walls are matched with a patterned feature wall, while a grey carpet runs underfoot.
There is another built in white wardrobe here, set into one wall, leaving the main floor area free for a bed and other bedroom furniture.
A large window looking out to the front of the home brings in plenty of natural light. The separate box room is compact but useful.
Finished in a peachy orange shade, it gives you an extra room that could be used for storage, hobbies, home working or as a nursery.
The shower room has a curved corner shower enclosure in one corner with an electric shower installed and beige tiled walls surrounding it.
On the opposite wall is a long run of light timber effect cabinets, giving you plenty of space to store bathroom essentials.
The white wash basin is built into this with the toilet alongside, while a chrome heated towel rail finishes the room.
Outside, large concrete slabs cover most of the space, with timber fencing keeping the area private. A metal shed is already in place for garden tools and outdoor storage.
This home has a lot to offer with built in storage in both bedrooms, a separate box room, a useful rear porch and store, and scope to modernise and decorate to suit your own style.
Add its end terrace position in a quiet cul-de-sac, with easy access to local shops, schools and services, and you can see that it has plenty to offer.
