Aberdeen (; Scots: Aiberdeen, About this soundlisten ; Scottish Gaelic: Obar Dheathain [opəɾ ˈɛ.ɛɲ]; Latin: Aberdonia) is a city in northeast Scotland. It is the third most populous city in Scotland, one of Scotland’s 32 local government council areas (as Aberdeen City) and the United Kingdom’s 39th most populous built-up area, with an official 2018 population estimate of
200,680 for the city of Aberdeen and 227,560 for the local council area.

During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen’s buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, which may sparkle like silver because of its high mica content.[citation needed] Since the discovery of North Sea oil in 1969, Aberdeen has been known as the off-shore oil capital of Europe.
The area around Aberdeen has been settled for at least 8,000 years, when prehistoric villages lay around the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don. The city has a long, sandy coastline and a marine climate, the latter resulting in chilly summers and mild winters.

Aberdeen received Royal burgh status from David I of Scotland (1124–1153), transforming the city economically. The city has two universities, the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and Robert Gordon University, which was awarded university status in 1992, making Aberdeen the educational centre of north-east Scotland. The traditional industries of fishing, paper-making, shipbuilding, and textiles have been overtaken by the oil industry and Aberdeen’s seaport. Aberdeen Heliport is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world and the seaport is the largest in the north-east of Scotland.

In 2012, HSBC named Aberdeen as a leading business hub and one of eight ‘super cities’ spearheading the UK’s economy, marking it as the only city in Scotland so designated. In 2018, Aberdeen was found to be the best city in the UK to start a business in a study released by card payment firm Paymentsense.

Flipping Investment Property in Aberdeen

Flipping property in Aberdeen

Flipping property is when we advise clients to buy a Aberdeen property below market value, renovate it and then make a profit by selling it at a higher price, all within a few months, and often before the Aberdeen market has a time to react to the renovation.

The Flipping Strategy in Aberdeen

Investment property flipping in Aberdeen is a simple strategy. You find a property that is in need of renovation from our list and purchase it for a low price. These type of Aberdeen real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Aberdeen real estate.

What is distressed Aberdeen property:

  • Aberdeen property in need of renovation
  • Aberdeen real estate with a change of purpose and use
  • Oversold Aberdeen property
  • Bank repossessions in Aberdeen

Put simply, long term investors in Aberdeen purchase the property, renovate it and make it a lot more attractive to potential buyers.

Calculate profit that you make from Aberdeen investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

Aberdeen property purchase price: $220,000

Renovation costs: $20,000

Other costs: $25,000

Property sale price: $400,000

Profit: $135,000

Experienced property developers in Aberdeen use a minimum profit value of 22% when looking at potential Aberdeen projects. The reason for this is because there are lots that can go wrong in Aberdeen property flipping and working on a potential margin of 22% should still leave a good margin of error.
