HMO feasibility appraisals in Hereford: what we do

Our HMO appraisals in Hereford start with the address: we check the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards for kitchens and bathrooms, then measure each room against the national minimum sizes to find the likely room count.

For houses in Hereford and elsewhere in Herefordshire, the appraisal also covers the planning route, building regulations and fire implications, a guide build cost range and the main risks. It is property information, not a valuation or financial advice.

What landlords in Hereford ask us

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

Is Hereford a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Herefordshire Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Hereford?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.
