All of them, including GU10, GU11 and GU12, and the surrounding parts of Surrey.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Aldershot?
With the local council for the address. Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
