Shared houses in Market Drayton need to satisfy Shropshire Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against Shropshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Shropshire 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 Shropshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO void refurbishment service in Market Drayton

Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Market Drayton are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Shropshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
