Is Aberdeen still fucked for housing like it was a decade ago? I had a miserable time trying to rent when I lived there because the offshore folk went at the market like vultures.
I was at uni there for 4 years and it was extremely expensive to rent. It was getting close to St Andrews at one point. I left in 2015.
Friends who stayed after the oil crash in 2016 ended up getting phone calls from their landlords asking them if they can reduce the amount of rent they need to pay in exchange to stay for an extra year.
Haha, that was right after I left! Damnit!
