Home > Property Info > Aberdeen Property for rent or saleAberdeen offers a wide range of houses for sale, from traditional residential homes and buildings in the city centre to more modern housing estates in the suburbs. Luxury apartments and flats for sale in Aberdeen, modern bungalows, student flats, semi-detached houses and large detached villas for sale in Aberdeen can all be found in Aberdeen city centre, while cottages can be found in the surrounding rural areas. The average price of a property for sale in Aberdeen is lower than Scotland's average. During September 2004 it stood at around £100,000 but despite national trends this shows a growth of property for sale in Aberdeen in September 2004 of 12.5%. On the outskirts of Aberdeen, housing estates can be found in commuting areas such as Westhill, about 10 miles west of the city. Many modern houses and bungalows can be found in residential areas like Bucksburn or in quieter suburbs such as Danestone to the north. Older villages with more traditional housing can be found in commuter villages such as Maryculter and Peterculter. The neighbouring suburbs of Cults and Bieldside to the south-west of the city are particularly sought-after areas, reflected in the higher priced properties to be found there. Being well served by good schools and local amenities, these areas offer desirable family accommodation, with many large detached traditional houses as well as more modern housing available. Further out, areas like Milltimber and Pitfodels are also popular residential areas. Other popular suburbs include Garthdee near the new Robert Gordon university campus, and the coastal areas of Bridge of Don to the north and Cove Bay and Portlethen to the south. Skene is particularly popular with students and young professionals while Kingswells to the west has many new buildings and is a popular area for first-time buyers. Some Aberdeen property buyers may be attracted to a rural property in the Grampian region or cottages in South Deeside and the quieter villages around Banchory or Lumphanan. As in the rest of Scotland, property in Aberdeen can be bought and sold through both estate agents and solicitors. The vast majority of property agents in Aberdeen are solicitors, so as well as holding details of homes for sale they can offer legal advice and help with mortgages. Most people looking for a house to buy in Aberdeen would start with a visit to the ASPC: the Aberdeen Solicitors¹ Property Centre. The Centre has a large selection of properties for sale in Aberdeen and the north-east of Scotland and can help anyone looking to buy a home, rent a home or sell a house. It has details of homes for sale, homes for lease, commercial property, newly built homes and building plots, and can also provide information on finding a solicitor and moving house. The ASPC brings together details of properties for sale by many local solicitors, and publishes a property register each week which can be picked up free of charge from a Thursday. The properties can also be viewed on their website. Property agents in Aberdeen also hold details of properties in nearby villages and towns, such as Inverurie and Stonehaven, and some sell properties as far away as Montrose and Peterhead. A property search on the internet will also bring up a number of estate agents and solicitors who sell property in Aberdeen. To make best use of this, it is helps to narrow down the price range and the style of property you are looking for, as well as the area to live in Aberdeen. It is important to remember that properties for sale in Scotland are usually put on the market on an ³offers over² basis, which means that the price quoted should be seen as a starting figure. The final price will usually be significantly higher than this, depending on the level on interest. Prospective buyers will be advised to survey the property in advance and then submit a written offer through their solicitor on a closing date. Once accepted, the offer is binding.
