Herefordshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Leominster. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

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.
HMO management for Leominster landlords
Our HMO management in Leominster covers the whole cycle of a shared house: letting rooms, collecting rent, arranging repairs and keeping the licence conditions and certificates in date. We check the local council's licensing scheme for the address before taking a house on, because conditions vary across Herefordshire.
For owners in Leominster, we can also help with registration on the PRS Database, which is due to open region by region from 15 December 2026, starting in the West Midlands, subject to Parliament approving the regulations. Repairs are handled by our own maintenance team.
- Rent collection, arrears follow-up and monthly statements
- Compliance diary for licence conditions, gas, EICR and alarms
- Room advertising, viewings, referencing and tenancy set-up
- Repairs by our own maintenance team
- Regular inspections of rooms and common parts
