HMO floor plans in Hereford: common questions

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Hereford?

Only if Herefordshire Council runs an additional licensing scheme covering the address. Mandatory licensing starts at five or more people. We confirm the position with the council for the address.

Who issues HMO licences in Hereford?

Herefordshire Council is the licensing authority for Hereford. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.
