Herefordshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Ledbury. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Room lets and tenant find in Ledbury: what we do
We let HMO rooms in Ledbury 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 Ledbury 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.
- Option to move to full management later
- Enquiries handled and viewings carried out
- Photo inventory and alarm check on move-in day
- Room adverts with photos and the asking rent shown
- Referencing and Right to Rent checks where required
