Default Aberdeen Housing Estate to be demolished amid RAAC safety fears

One Resident said the Council has only offered
half the amount for his home.

[Hundreds of homes in Aberdeen
affected by potentially dangerous concrete are
to be demolished on safety grounds and rebuilt
at an expected cost of more than £150m.

A total of 504 homes in the city's Balnagask area
have been identified as having reinforced autoclaved
aerated concrete (RAAC) in their roof panels.

Of the properties involved, 366 are council
addresses and 138 are private.

The alarm was raised in February
following an inspection in 2023,
with a recommendation to relocate council
tenants to alternative accommodation
"as soon as possible".

The process of rehoming council tenants
has been ongoing since then.

At a meeting on Wednesday, councillors voted
to begin the demolition process.

Aberdeen City Council said the estimated
demolition and landscaping work could
cost between £20m to £25m and
will take between three and four years.]
