HMOs in Bewdley are licensed and regulated by Wyre Forest District Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

Wyre Forest District Council's Article 4 direction, due to start on 20 February 2027, covers Kidderminster only. Elsewhere, including Bewdley, changing a family house into a small HMO is normally permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Wyre Forest District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO guaranteed rent in Bewdley: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Bewdley and elsewhere in Worcestershire. 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 Bewdley 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.
