Aldershot rental market, what landlords need to know
Aldershot is a town in Rushmoor, Hampshire, approximately 35 miles south-west of London and adjoining Farnborough. Known as the 'Home of the British Army', Aldershot has a significant military population and serves as a major garrison town. Approximately 30% of all households are in the private rented sector — well above the national average — reflecting the high demand from military personnel, their families, and the substantial civilian workforce supporting defence industries in the area. Direct trains to London Waterloo take approximately 60 minutes. The rental market is characterised by strong and consistent demand from service personnel (often on short postings), Ministry of Defence civilian employees, and defence industry contractors. Buy-to-let gross yields of 5-7% reflect moderate property prices and robust rental demand. Rushmoor Borough Council is the local housing authority.
