'The Granite City'

Affectionately known as 'The Granite City', the streets of this historic Scottish town are swept in this glistening and enduring grey stone. Right on the city's doorstep are nine of Scotland's best beaches, and the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park.


It's no wonder this sparkling city was voted the best place to live in Great Britain in a recent survey (HomeViews 2023).

The energy capital of Europe

The discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea in the 1970s created an influx of investment in Aberdeen, with the city often cited as the 'Oil Capital of Europe'. 


With global energy demands shifting towards renewables, Aberdeen has already made a significant transition in becoming the renewable energy capital of Europe thanks to its immense offshore wind and wave power, and the city's ongoing focus on energy innovation and attracting top international talent.

A thriving student population

Aberdeen is home to two distinguished Universities - most notably The University of Aberdeen, which is a Top 20 UK University. It is also one of the most affordable places to live in within the UK, which makes this small but vibrant city a highly desirable desination for Scottish and International students alike. 


With a student population of almost 15%, the city is a fantastic place for both buy-to-let and HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) investment opportunites.
