Our work in Herefordshire ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
In Herefordshire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Herefordshire Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.

HMO guaranteed rent in Herefordshire: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Herefordshire. Before making an offer we survey the house, measure the rooms and check the local council's licensing and planning position for the address, because those decide how many people can lawfully live there.
Owners in Herefordshire who lease to any operator should check the licence, certificates and tenancy paperwork, because licensing offences and rent repayment orders can reach superior landlords since 1 May 2026. Have the lease reviewed by your own solicitor before you sign.
