Relocating to Aberdeen: the lettings market
Aberdeen is the energy capital of Europe, with a growing oil and gas industry that attracts a global workforce. There’s also a burgeoning life sciences industry, with one of the biggest concentrations of scientists outside of Cambridge, two universities – the University of Aberdeen and the Robert Gordon University (which draws up to 60,000 students every year), and the £183million mixed-use Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC).
In fact, Aberdeen has been ranked as one of the UK’s most competitive cities. 33 of Scotland’s top 100 companies are based in Aberdeen and GVA (gross value added) sits at £17,573m – 15% of the Scottish total.
