Aberdeen Travel Forum

Hi Everyone.

I'm moving to Aberdeen in August as I've got a job offer over there. My work place would be in Dyce. I need some advice on
1. where, and
2. how I can search for accommodation around.

I'd like to rent a one bedroom apartment, hopefully something below 300 or even 250 pounds per month.

Alternatively, To be honest, I wouldn't mind staying in a multiple bedroom apartment as well, as long as I can get a private room for myself. If this is the case, what sort of monthly rental can I expect?

Basically my criteria would be
1. low cost
2. safe
3. near to Dyce

Please advice yea!

Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi again folks,

Hope to hear from anyone soon.

Thanks.

just passing through (am researching aberdeen myself as me and the Mrs might be moving there next year....) anyway this forum is a bit dead so you could try here

aberdeen is a bit expensive (oil money) so i think you've be very lucky to find an apartment for that money - sharing will prob. be alright

never used it but you could try looking at sites like this?

good luck and have a nice life :O)

try a website called 'this is north scotland'....

google the newspaper... aberdeen press and journal

or the evening edition is called
the evening express

look in the classifieds.

if you really struggle, you can try and get 'digs' (its basically a room in someones home, share the home normally with the family, you can negotiate an evening meal etc.,)

good luck

dyce is quite a bit from aberdeen if you have to depend on local busses etc., there is a train service, but only like 3 times a day from the city

Hi there.

My family and I are also moving to Aberdeen in the Summer. I have found that the best place to look for a property to rent/buy in the area is to hook up to ASPC, which is the Aberdeen Solicitors Property Centre. They seem to advertise abount 90% of the business on behalf of other estate agents/solicitors in the area.

My husband works in Dyce and places within easy reach of here are Kingswells, Westhills, Cults, Blackburn and the City itself, although the nearer you get to the centre, the more expensive it is.

Happy hunting and best wishes
