Renting a room in Aberdeen

  • Hi not sure if you have found a suitable room in Aberdeen. I'd love to know how this turned out. I see it is quite an expensive place to live in. I found this site housepals.co.uk/signup/user/advertiser that you can actually advertise your room for free and get a roommate so share expenses and all... I hope this helps...
    Cheers,

    I think it depends where you look. Of course there are expensive areas, just like any, but you can get a room to rent in Aberdeen in a decent enough area for as little as £60 pw. Aberdeen can be expensive, but so can Edinburgh or Glasgow. You just need to know where to look. Gumtree is a good place to start, and also check the Press & Journal classifieds.

    Also, you might be just cheaper renting full-time and travelling back at weekends rather than specifically paying for a property for the working week.

    £300+ per month is the going rate for a room in a flat and many of them are dumps furnished with reject from the charity shops.
