HMO projects in Ross-on-Wye are shaped by the rules of Herefordshire Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 52 miles from Ross-on-Wye. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

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.
