Our HMO refurbishment service in Ludlow

We refurbish existing HMOs in Ludlow 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 Ludlow house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Shropshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
