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 refurbishment for Whitchurch landlords

We refurbish existing HMOs in Whitchurch 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 Whitchurch 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.

Questions about HMO refurbishment in Whitchurch

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Whitchurch?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

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.

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

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 Whitchurch?

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. Shropshire Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
