Telford & Wrekin Council has confirmed a borough-wide Article 4 direction that starts on 27 February 2027. From then, turning a family house in Dawley into a small HMO will need planning permission, so we check your programme against that date. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Telford & Wrekin Council revoked a planned borough-wide additional licensing scheme in September 2026, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our HMO feasibility appraisal service in Dawley

Our HMO appraisals in Dawley 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 Dawley and elsewhere in Shropshire, 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.

HMO feasibility appraisals in Dawley: common questions

Can you find HMO properties for me in Dawley?

Yes. We look for houses whose layout, planning position and licensing requirements suit HMO use, and share the checks we've done on each one.

Is Dawley a good place for an HMO?

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

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Dawley?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Dawley?

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