    Property Market Update
   

15th February 2012

I hope that everyone has has a good start to the new year. The weather has calmed down this week but I see that the wind is coming back again and possible snow towards the end of the week into the weekend!!  

Aberdeen FCs season seems to be getting better after they have they have faltered recently, they managed to grind out a cup win against Queen of the South last night. Can the team please make their supporters lives easy with a few good wins in the next couple of games? as they have Celtic looming into March.   The golfers at "Murcar Links" are all frustrated at the bad weather all we seem to do is to play in high winds and rain!!. The course looks in good nick, so If your looking for a testing challenge on a championship links course then you won't find many better examples with great scenery  of our sandy coastline.

Aberdeen Property Market;  In the short time for this year we have experienced a high demand for properties so the property market that is very favourable.  With regard to the student market the continued progression of the HMO licenses, have put pressure on the students finding suitable accommodation as there are not the numbers of HMOs to satisfy demand.  Houses seem to be sluggish though and I don't think it will be until early in January before we see much change in this sector. The purchase market for HMO properties is still roaring away but it normally takes several months after purchase to obtain as licence. 

All prospective tenants out there should know that our minimum requirements to letting a property are that you provide the rent!! a deposit equivalent to the first months rent, and a £55 + Vat credit check fee, we do require some sort of reference (Previous Landlords or Work Reference).

If you would like to view any of these properties below please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Happy Property Hunting!!
