HMO projects in Leominster are shaped by the rules of Herefordshire Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.

We couldn't confirm Herefordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO fire risk assessments for Leominster landlords
Shared houses in Leominster need a fire risk assessment that reflects how the building is actually laid out. We assess the common parts and the escape route from every bedroom, then give you a written report with a prioritised action plan you can act on.
Councils and fire services covering Herefordshire commonly expect to see a current assessment, particularly at licence time. We review assessments for houses in Leominster after building work or changes in occupancy, and can price any works the action plan identifies.
