A shared house in Bewdley has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Wyre Forest District Council's Article 4 direction, due to start on 20 February 2027, covers Kidderminster only. Elsewhere, including Bewdley, changing a family house into a small HMO is normally permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Wyre Forest District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO room letting work in Bewdley
We let HMO rooms in Bewdley 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 Bewdley 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.
