"Finding a place to live in Aberdeen involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and focus on areas and types of accommodation that are within your financial reach. Next, decide on the type of accommodation you want. Aberdeen offers a variety of options, including apartments, houses, and shared accommodations. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, start your search. There are several online platforms that can help you with this. Websites like Rightmove, Zoopla, and Gumtree list a wide range of rental properties in Aberdeen. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent. They can provide you with expert advice and help you navigate the local property market. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and ask any questions you might have. If you're satisfied with the property, you can then proceed to the application process. This usually involves providing references and proof of income. Finally, if your application is successful, you'll need to sign a lease agreement. Make sure you read this carefully and understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so be patient and don't rush the process," said one expat who made the move to Aberdeen.
