We plan each HMO conversion job in Shropshire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

HMO rules across Shropshire's councils

Council	Additional licensing	Selective licensing	Article 4 (small HMOs)
Shropshire Council	Not confirmed	Not confirmed	Not confirmed
Telford & Wrekin Council	None found A planned borough-wide scheme was revoked in September 2026	Not confirmed	Due to start Borough-wide, due to start 27 February 2027

Checked October 2026. Mandatory licensing for five or more people applies in every council. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for the address before work starts.

We found no Article 4 directions for small HMOs in force among Shropshire's councils that we could confirm. Large HMOs always need planning permission. Article 4 directions are due to start or proposed in: Telford & Wrekin Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our HMO conversion service in Shropshire

Our HMO conversion work in Shropshire 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 Shropshire 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 Shropshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.

HMO conversions in Shropshire: common questions

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Shropshire?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Shropshire?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether the local council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Shropshire?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.
