Adrian Sangster - Aberdein Considine

“As 2021 draws to a close I expect the Aberdeen market in 2022 will experience a case of déjà vu. Unless there is a dramatic change, low availability of stock will remain the biggest challenge for those looking for a home in the area. A shortage of 3/4 bed family homes in particular, is likely to lead to rentals for these properties continuing their upward spiral. Demand for these, particularly in the suburbs and Shire, remain high as increased home working means commuting distance for many is now less of a priority.”
