Matt Pullinger - Northwood

“Northwood Aberdeen has experienced an exceptionally busy Q4. Typically a quieter time of year, we have recorded at least twice the activity of the same period last year, with enquiry levels and move-ins at very encouraging levels. Northwood Aberdeen celebrated 10 years in business and have seen various changes in market conditions over the years and Q4 2019 shows a continued improvement in activity and reduction in stock levels which bodes well with renewed positivity and more certainty in the market for 2020.”
