Karolina Robertson - Aberdein Considine

“Q1 of 2020 has started very promising, there was healthy level of interest from private tenants and relocation companies, due to the oil and gas sector emerging from a 2015 downturn. However, Covid-19 and the lockdown had an adverse effect on the market, leading to a number of tenancies falling through and market gradually declining. Since then, we have noticed an increase in tenant online activity, especially from NHS staff and keyworkers. Some tenants make plans for after the lockdown. It remains uncertain how Covid-19 will affect prospects in the months ahead, however, the impact will likely be a legacy felt for a long time.”
