Our work in Herefordshire ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
Licensing and planning for HMOs in Herefordshire is handled by Herefordshire Council, a unitary council covering the whole county, so the same rules apply wherever the house is.

How we handle HMO room letting work in Herefordshire
We let HMO rooms in Herefordshire for owners who manage their own houses, from a single room to every room as it falls vacant. Each advert shows the asking rent, and each applicant is referenced and checked in the same way before any paperwork is signed.
Room lets in Herefordshire follow the same national rules as anywhere in England: assured periodic tenancies, no bidding, no blanket bans and limits on rent in advance. Where the house needs an HMO licence, we check the licence conditions on occupancy before letting each room.
- Photo inventory and alarm check on move-in day
- Referencing and Right to Rent checks where required
- Room adverts with photos and the asking rent shown
- Written tenancy terms and deposit protection
- Option to move to full management later
