Licensing and planning for HMOs in Herefordshire is handled by Herefordshire Council, a unitary council covering the whole county, so the same rules apply wherever the house is.
Our work in Herefordshire ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.

HMO conversions for Herefordshire landlords
Our HMO conversion work in Herefordshire starts with a measured survey and a check of the planning and licensing rules that apply to the street. We design the room layout, shared facilities and escape route around those rules, then price the agreed specification in an itemised written quote.
Two houses in Herefordshire that look alike from outside can give different room counts once the kitchen, stairs and bathrooms are measured. We give you a realistic number early, then build across Herefordshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.
