HMO projects in Hereford are shaped by the rules of Herefordshire Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 48 miles from Hereford. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

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.

Our HMO refurbishment service in Hereford

We refurbish existing HMOs in Hereford 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 Hereford 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.

What landlords in Hereford ask us

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Hereford?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Herefordshire Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Hereford?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Hereford?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. Herefordshire Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
