This top-floor one-bedroom flat on Allan Street offers a compact, low-cost entry into Aberdeen’s rental market or a city-centre first home. At 306 sq ft it is efficiently laid out with open-plan living/kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The property is offered move-in ready and can include all furnishings and appliances — useful for quick lets or a turnkey purchase.
Practical features that appeal to investors and budget buyers include freehold tenure, compliance with current letting standards, a sitting tenant in place, and programmable Elnur off-peak storage heating which keeps running costs predictable. Double glazing and an exclusive secure garden shed add convenience, while a well-kept communal lawn provides outdoor space in the terrace setting.
Buyers should note the compact overall size and top-floor access via stairs — storage is partly accommodated in the loft, but headroom and internal space are limited. On-street parking only and the property sits in an area listed as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth but supports steady rental demand from nearby universities and local services.
Positioned close to Robert Gordon University, public transport and city amenities, this flat suits a buy-to-let investor seeking an affordable, let-ready unit or a first-time buyer wanting a central, low-maintenance home. The combination of low asking price and ready-to-rent condition presents clear short-term income potential, balanced by modest living space and location-related considerations.
