Hereford sits within Herefordshire Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

We'll tell you plainly if a house in Hereford isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Questions about HMO void refurbishment in Hereford

Does a converted HMO in Hereford need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Herefordshire Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Hereford?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Herefordshire Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Hereford?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.
