Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Bromyard we start by measuring every room and checking Herefordshire Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
We cover HR7 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Bromyard as anywhere else in Herefordshire.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
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.
