Shared houses in Ledbury need to satisfy Herefordshire Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Herefordshire 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 Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Void and turnaround refurbishment in Ledbury: what we do
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Ledbury between tenancies: inspection, repairs, redecoration, a deep clean and safety checks, finished with photos you can use to advertise the room. Each job is quoted per room or per job after we have seen it.
Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Ledbury are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Herefordshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
- Repairs, filling and redecoration to an agreed standard
