DIY InventoryInventory and check-in reports in Rushmoor
Rushmoor is made up of the twin towns of Aldershot and Farnborough, both shaped by the army and aviation. Older terraces sit near the town centres and the former military areas, with large post-war estates around them and big new developments such as Wellesley on former army land. Around one in five households rents privately, a share that grew between 2011 and 2021. Many rented homes are flats in converted terraces and newer apartment blocks near the stations.

What to check at a Rushmoor check-in
- New-build homes at Wellesley: photograph snagging items, sealant around baths and any marks on fresh paintwork, as these get disputed.
- Apartment blocks near Aldershot and Farnborough stations: note fob, key and parking permit counts, and the bin and bike store access.
- Victorian terraces in Aldershot and North Camp: photograph sash or replacement windows, chimney breasts and any damp in rear rooms.
- Flats over shops in the town centres: record the condition of the street door, stairs, smoke alarms and any noise or smell from the shop below.
- Post-war estate houses in Cove and North Town: photograph fences, sheds, garages and the condition of the garden, as these are often in the inventory.

Fees: £1,108 for a five-year HMO licence for 5 people, rising to £2,214 for 21 or more (council fee list) Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Rushmoor?
Yes. Landlords, agents and tenants can do it on a phone: a photo checklist for every room, the date and time stamped on every photo, every item’s condition, and both sides sign. The PDF is ready the moment it’s signed.
Will a DIY inventory stand up in a deposit dispute?
Deposit schemes (DPS, TDS, mydeposits) decide on the evidence, above all the condition at check-in compared with check-out. Dated photos of every room, signed by both sides, are exactly that evidence.
