A shared house in Dawley has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

Telford & Wrekin Council has confirmed a borough-wide Article 4 direction that starts on 27 February 2027. From then, turning a family house in Dawley into a small HMO will need planning permission, so we check your programme against that date. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Telford & Wrekin Council revoked a planned borough-wide additional licensing scheme in September 2026, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
HMO guaranteed rent for Dawley landlords
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Dawley and elsewhere in Shropshire. 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 Dawley 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.
