Ludlow sits within Shropshire Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
We cover SY8 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Ludlow 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.
