Shared houses in Leominster need to satisfy Herefordshire Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
We cover HR6 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Leominster as anywhere else in Herefordshire.

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 refurbishment in Leominster: what we do
We refurbish existing HMOs in Leominster 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 Leominster 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.
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
