One of the best-know ports in the world and boasting a significant naval port history spanning centuries, Portsmouth is home to the oldest dry dock in the world and most (two thirds, to be precise) of the United Kingdom’s surface fleet. Portsmouth HMNB is, in fact, considered the Royal Navy’s home.

The historic dockyard of Portsmouth is also home to several famous ships, including:

• Henry VIII’s warship, the Mary Rose. Lost in 1545, this Tudor carrack was recovered in 1982 and is now on display in a dedicated Portsmouth museum.
• HMS Warrior, Britain’s first armoured, iron-hulled battleship and
• HMS Victory, Horatio Nelson’s flagship and the oldest naval ship in the world still in commission.

One of the city’s former naval shore establishments – the HMS Vernon – was redeveloped into Gunwharf Quays, a retail park boasting numerous cafes, restaurants, stores and pubs. Adjacent to Gunwharf Quays and dominating Portsmouth Harbour and the waterfront is Spinnaker Tower, one of the city’s most well-know landmarks and, at a height of 170 m (560 ft), one of the tallest structures in the UK.

Other major Portsmouth landmarks include the:

• City’s two Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals, the Cathedral of St Thomas and the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist
• Guildhall, which is now a leading conference & concert venue and home to several of the city’s most precious historic treasures, including Portsmouth’s Civic Plate and Council Chamber, and
• Portchester Castle

Portsmouth also has a great deal to offer in terms of education and excellent employment opportunities, with educational facilities including the University of Portsmouth, one of the world’s top 100 modern universities since April 2015, Highbury College, Portsmouth College, Admiral Lord Nelson School and Miltoncross Academy, and a thriving economy encompassing renowned research institutions and innovative, leading businesses in industries/sectors including:

• Marine & Maritime Sectors
• Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering
• Aerospace & Defence
• Digital & Creative Technology (IT, software, computer services, etc.)

As such, Portsmouth attracts many 1,000s of students and professionals – which generates a significant demand for shared accommodation.

Landlords wishing to cater for this demand must comply with HMO Licence Portsmouth legislation.
