HMOs in Whitchurch are licensed and regulated by Shropshire Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

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.
