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.
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.

Our turnkey HMO service in Herefordshire
Our turnkey HMO projects in Herefordshire run under one contract from purchase support to first tenants. Each starts with checks for the address, including the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards, so the design reflects the rules that apply in Herefordshire.
Owners in Herefordshire keep control of the purchase and finance decisions throughout, with a written summary and a decision point at the end of each stage. Build costs are quoted after a survey, and council fees for planning, licensing and building control are paid separately.
