Shropshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Shrewsbury. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.
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.
HMO management in Shrewsbury: what we do
Our HMO management in Shrewsbury 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 Shropshire.
For owners in Shrewsbury, 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.
