Buying in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is perhaps best known across the country for three things; the sparkling granite from the famous Rubislaw quarry, which was used to construct much of the city’s buildings, being known as the Oil and Energy Capital of Europe, and the beautiful Royal Deeside where the Royal Family’s holiday home is located at Balmoral. The oil and Energy industry has dominated the city’s economy and property market ever since oil was discovered there in the 1970s, but as the reliance on Oil starts to dwindle Aberdeen is fast becoming known as an Energy hub and a renewables capital.
The majority of the properties in the city centre and west end are built of traditional granite structures for which Aberdeen is renowned, more modern properties built since the 1950s are built from more diverse and modern materials. There’s much to be said for these traditional granite properties, which can range in size but are always elegant, while Aberdeen’s more modern housing stock in the newer prosperous suburban areas and towns are also highly sought after.
Inevitably, the city’s housing market has been interlinked with the fortunes of the oil and gas industry, when the oil price has been high this has brought with it price growth and property booms. Despite such price fluctuations in the global oil price, Aberdeen’s property market has performed robustly and resiliently with prices above the Scottish average. Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is a sought after location to live with low levels of unemployment and high standards of living often topping UK quality of life surveys.
Aberdeen is a desirable place to live and work and this will continue as the economy diversifies away from oil and gas. Well-presented and maintained property remains and will continue to stay in demand for years to come.
The average price for property in Aberdeen stood at £187,662 in January 2024. Though different property types have had different sold prices in the last 12 months. Detached properties for instance sold for an average of £319,349; semi-detached for £226,900; terraced for £163,246; and flats for £116,630.
