Running an HMO in Whitchurch means keeping Shropshire Council's licence conditions, the management regulations and the tenancy rules in step. We keep those together in one compliance diary.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

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.
