Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Market Drayton we start by measuring every room and checking Shropshire Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
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.

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.
