Ludlow sits within Shropshire Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 36 miles from Ludlow, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

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.
How we handle HMO guaranteed rent work in Ludlow
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Ludlow 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 Ludlow 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.
