Greenauto Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Help me, I move out of my flat in Arbroath mid January and still haven't been able to find a place in Aberdeen yet. The move is to get me closer to my work so I can actually afford to drive my Supra a bit more. At the moment the 100 mile a day drive aint happenin in the Sup. Only problem I have is that there don't seem to be any places in my price bracket. Ideally I'd like a one/two bedroom place in Cove with off-street parking and possibly a wee garden but thats not essential. I've looked at maisonettes there but offers over 85K turns into 110K and that aint happenin. I've widened the search to encompass flats but that is still not helping. I'm now looking at flats in other areas but there's nothing close to Altens (where I work) that I'd feel safe leaving the car out on the street. I'm going for a look at a flat in Torry tonight, its ground floor so I should be able to see the car from the flat but I know what the reputation of the place is. I've already had the car vandalised once, I don't want that happening again. CCTV maybe Long winded explanation I know but does anyone know of anywhere else to look or have any ideas I may not have thought about yet? Is Torry as bad as I've heard?

Eve Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yes Dave, Torry is as bad as you have heard..... Don't know what the prices are like in Banchory at the moment...that would be a 35 min drive. Do you have to move mid Jan? pm'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenauto Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Cheers for the pm Eve, thats given me another option. And more confusion I don't have to move into a place in January as I'll be able to stay at my folks till I can find something I like. I just don't want to burden them by going back home and they live in Peterhead so it'll be a similar drive then even more traffic than I've got at the moment. I guess its just a short term solution. I think I'm going to have to stay with them and hope the housing market in Aberdeen takes a similar nose dive to the way it has in other places. I'll go and have a look at the flat in Torry, but my first instincts do tell me to stay away. If only I could have shipped the flat I'm in now straight to Cove it would be perfect!
