Our work in Shropshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.
Licensing and planning for HMOs in Shropshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.
HMO rules across Shropshire's councils
| Council | Additional licensing | Selective licensing | Article 4 (small HMOs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shropshire Council | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed |
| Telford & Wrekin Council | None found A planned borough-wide scheme was revoked in September 2026 | Not confirmed | Due to start Borough-wide, due to start 27 February 2027 |
Checked October 2026. Mandatory licensing for five or more people applies in every council. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for the address before work starts.
We found no Article 4 directions for small HMOs in force among Shropshire's councils that we could confirm. Large HMOs always need planning permission. Article 4 directions are due to start or proposed in: Telford & Wrekin Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
Room lets and tenant find in Shropshire: what we do
We let HMO rooms in Shropshire 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 Shropshire 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
- Option to move to full management later
- Room adverts with photos and the asking rent shown
- Enquiries handled and viewings carried out
