Shared houses in Market Drayton need to satisfy Shropshire Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 34 miles from Market Drayton. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Shropshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Shropshire 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 Shropshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
