HMO floor plans in Shrewsbury: common questions

Who issues HMO licences in Shrewsbury?

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

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Shrewsbury?

Since 1 May 2026 councils can issue civil penalties of up to £40,000, and rent repayment orders can cover up to two years' rent. If a house in Shrewsbury needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.

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

Only if Shropshire 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.

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. Shropshire Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.
