Guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Alright Ladz, how's it going? My girlfriend and I are moving in together and are looking to get a one bedroom flat at maximum £600pm. Need it fully furnished and nearish the middle of town, parking preferable but not essential. Looking to move in about the end of August and we are both studentsWe are looking across all the property sites and that, but was just wondering if any of you lot knew of anywhere? Just assessing as many options as possible.Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 It's all about ASPC.www.aspc.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 ASPC is baller. Citylets is also pretty decent: http://www.citylets.co.uk/flats-rent-aberdeen/I rent from APL, but I'm not sure I can recommend them. They've been fantastic with us and have helped us with a few problems, but I've heard lots of bad things about deposits and stuff. Regardless, here's the URL: http://www.primelet.com/property-search/apl_propsearch.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 £600 is crazy. 2 years ago you could get a 2 bedroom for that.I might be looking for a flat in a few months, I'll need a lot more pennies. Shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 My flat-mates are Minchin and Stewart. On their page today:Right folks, some really nice city centre flats coming up this month, 2x1 beds (around the 600 mark) and 3x2 beds With parking (around the 800 mark) some with tv's and play station 3's included!! call or mail me for first chance to view.They're pretty new to the game, and therefore incredibly hard working. I can get you in touch about the 1b/r? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 £600 for a two bed is really really good, id be surprised if its more than a small box with a few walls stuck in. My place in bod is a bottom floor 2 bed, but its pretty big, it costs us £800 a month, but only because the landlord is a personal friend, she could easily get £1000 for that place.

Diesel Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 http://www.citylets.co.uk/Be mindful of ads on Gumtree. It's full of scammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehunger Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'd also recommend ASPC - especially since they have private landlords advertising there which saves the hassle of a letting agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not everyone is on ASPC though, so maybe try actually visiting some of the solicitors - some ads also go up in their windows before they go up online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well it looks like we have a flat! Got it through findaproperty.com and our leasing agent is barbaraellisleasing.co.uk. Couldn't recommend either enough! Barbara runs a small firm but is very helpful, considerate and punctual with any enquiries, as well as very honest about any shortcomings the property might have.We've still got to sort out references and a credit check so I don't wanna jinx it but it's all been agreed in principle so I'm fairly chuffed. It's in a good location (top of Hardgate) and suits us both perfectly! V. excited to be finally moving out, albeit just 20 mins away and for the second time.

Soda Jerk Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Barbara Ellis are a good firm. My job is chasing up and clamping down on crooked landlords and dickhead letting agents, of which there are many. Barbara Ellis is one of the goodies.The ones to avoid like a turd in a swimming pool are Martin & Co. Bunch of crooks. They're a bit racist too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Barbara Ellis? Nahh. Not a goodie.EDIT: Or maybe it was our cunt of a flatmate that brought out the worst in her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I can't comment on what she's like from the perspective of a tenant, but from my point of view, she's not a deposit-stealing cowboy with an unknown address. Law-abiders are the goodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Barbara Ellis? Nahh. Not a goodie.EDIT: Or maybe it was our cunt of a flatmate that brought out the worst in her.Um, yes. Yes she is. In our experience so far she's been very helpful and professional. Maybe you/he just pissed her off for whatever reason.That being said no lease is signed and done just yet, still ironing out references etc but so far I've been v.impressed w/her.
