The Aberdeen property market

Scotland’s energy capital — the granite city.

Aberdeen is the centre of the UK’s oil-and-gas industry and an increasingly important hub for the energy transition, with two universities and a distinctive supply of granite housing. The market is closely tied to the energy sector’s cycles.

The market in context

Understanding Aberdeen

The West End and Cults command the strongest premiums, the city centre offers a central market and Old Aberdeen anchors university demand. Because the local economy leans heavily on energy, the market can move with the sector, so timing and tenant type matter.

Sales here run under Scottish conveyancing — offers, missives and the Home Report. Note that some Great Britain datasets shown elsewhere on the site (HM Land Registry sold prices, council-tax band charges, the Index of Multiple Deprivation and the England flood feed) do not cover Scotland; we flag that honestly rather than invent a figure.

Questions, answered

Selling and buying in Aberdeen: your questions

How do I find out what homes in Aberdeen actually sold for?

Every completed sale in England and Wales is recorded by HM Land Registry, and we surface those real figures — not estimates — for AB10 and the other Aberdeen districts on our sold-prices pages. You see the price each property genuinely changed hands for, with the sample size behind any median, so you are reading the market as it actually traded rather than an algorithm's guess.

Are online “instant valuations” for Aberdeen accurate?

Treat them as a starting point, not a fact. An instant valuation is a model's estimate, and two tools will happily disagree by tens of thousands of pounds on the same Aberdeen home. We deliberately never show a single made-up number — instead we show the real sold prices nearby and the honest range around them, which is the figure buyers, surveyors and cash purchasers actually work from.

How quickly can I sell a house in Aberdeen?

It depends entirely on the route. A genuine cash purchase can complete in two to three weeks but pays below market value for that certainty; a well-priced open-market sale in Aberdeen usually takes longer but nets the most; auction sits in between with a fixed timetable. Our “sell your house fast” guide for Aberdeen walks through the real trade-offs without the pressure.

What does it cost to sell a home in Aberdeen?

Expect estate-agent fees, conveyancing, an EPC and any early-repayment charge on your mortgage; a cash or auction sale trades some of that for a lower headline price. Our free cost-of-selling and stamp-duty tools let you put real Aberdeen numbers in and see what you would actually walk away with.

Which Aberdeen neighbourhoods should I look at?

West End / Cults, City centre / Ferryhill, Old Aberdeen and City centre / harbour each behave differently on price and demand, which is why we link every Aberdeen district straight to its own sold-price page rather than quoting one city-wide average. Read each area at outward-code level — AB10, AB15, AB24 and the rest — to see where value and competition really sit.

Is the data on this Aberdeen page an estimate?

No. Every hard figure on this page comes from a named public source — HM Land Registry for sold prices, the council for tax bands, the police and Environment Agency for crime and flood risk, and the official register for EPC ratings. When a source is briefly unavailable we say so plainly and show the rest, rather than filling the gap with a number we invented.
