A shared house in Market Drayton has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
We cover TF9 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Market Drayton as anywhere else in Shropshire.

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.
