• Why Move to Aberdeen? •
In 2025, moving to Aberdeen remains an attractive option for professionals, students, and families alike. The city’s economy is diversifying beyond its oil and gas heritage, with renewable energy, life sciences, digital industries, and healthcare providing a wealth of career opportunities. Its two leading universities—the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University—continue to attract international talent, offering high-quality education and strong research credentials.
Set on Scotland’s northeast coast, Aberdeen delivers a mix of urban convenience and natural beauty. Miles of sandy beaches, a rugged coastline, and quick access to the Cairngorms National Park make it ideal for outdoor pursuits, from hiking and cycling to water sports. Culturally, the city is steeped in history, with medieval architecture, granite landmarks, and thriving venues like Aberdeen Art Gallery, His Majesty’s Theatre, and the Maritime Museum showcasing a vibrant arts and heritage scene.
Community life is welcoming, supported by a year-round calendar of events and festivals such as Spectra, Nuart, and the Aberdeen Jazz Festival. Residents also benefit from well-rated NHS and private healthcare, and excellent connectivity via Aberdeen International Airport, rail services, and an efficient local bus network. Compared to many major UK cities, the cost of living is more affordable, allowing newcomers to enjoy a high quality of life with strong value for money.

• Aberdeen Property •
Aberdeen’s housing market in 2025 continues to show resilience. The city’s blend of cultural depth, two universities (University of Aberdeen and RGU), and a scenic North Sea coastline keeps attracting local and international buyers. Stock is varied: classic granite tenements in Rosemount and Ferryhill, Victorian/Edwardian houses in the West End, family homes across Bridge of Don and the Deeside suburbs (Cults, Bieldside, Milltimber), plus modern city-centre and waterfront apartments.
Rental demand remains firm, underpinned by students and professionals across energy (including renewables), life sciences, tech, and port-related industries. That creates opportunities for buy-to-let investors, though it’s wise to factor in Scotland’s evolving private rented sector rules and licensing requirements, as well as energy-efficiency expectations for older buildings.
If you’re buying, do your homework: compare recent sold prices via Registers of Scotland, read the property’s Home Report carefully, and budget for Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT). For flats, review factor (service) charges and building maintenance. Investors should stress-test yields for voids and compliance costs; owner-occupiers should focus on neighbourhood fit, transport, schools, and EPC ratings. Local solicitors and agents can help you navigate Aberdeen’s distinct market dynamics with confidence.

Aberdeen in 2025 offers a packed line-up of things to see and do for residents and visitors alike.
