In Herefordshire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Herefordshire Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.
Our work in Herefordshire ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.

HMO refurbishment in Herefordshire: what we do
We refurbish existing HMOs in Herefordshire that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Herefordshire house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Herefordshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
