An HMO in Hereford has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.

Mandatory licensing applies to every HMO with 5 or more occupiers, but additional or selective schemes can bring smaller houses into licensing too. We check which applies before preparing anything, so the application matches the scheme.
