Professional HMOs and house shares in Stretford.
Stretford is a town in the borough of Trafford, about four miles from Manchester city centre, with the A56 Chester Road running through it. Trams from Stretford stop reach St Peter's Square in about 15 minutes, Trafford Park is on its northern side and the 79 bus runs to MediaCityUK.
Living here
Stretford's town centre is on Chester Road, where King Street reopened in August 2025 as an open-air street with Sir Tony Lloyd Square, after decades under the roof of Stretford Mall. The rest of the mall closed in early 2026, and Bruntwood and Trafford Council have applied to build homes and a new park on the site. Longford Park, the largest park in Trafford, has a pets' corner, tennis and basketball courts and a disc golf course.
Getting around
Trams from Stretford stop, on the corner of Chester Road and Edge Lane, reach St Peter's Square in about 15 minutes, with services towards Bury and towards Piccadilly and Etihad Campus. The 15 and 263 buses run from Stretford Mall to Oxford Road and the universities in about 30 minutes. The 79 runs to MediaCityUK and Salford Quays about once an hour, and the 23 and 245 go to the Trafford Centre.
Good to know
Stretford is in the borough of Trafford rather than the city of Manchester, so HMO licensing and planning go through Trafford Council. The Trafford Park industrial estate, still a major source of jobs, is on the town's northern side, and Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium and Lancashire's cricket ground on Talbot Road are nearby. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the middle of Stretford.

HMO management in Stretford.
Own a shared house or HMO in Stretford? It's one of the areas we cover from our office on Dickenson Road. We find and reference the tenants, collect the rent, handle repairs and keep the licence and safety certificates in date. Or we do just the part you want help with.
HMOs here are licensed by Trafford Council. A house let to five or more people who form two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Since December 2017 a borough-wide Article 4 direction has meant that turning a family home into a small shared house needs planning permission from the council. We can apply for the licence and keep it in date. Trafford Council: HMO licensing (opens the council's website)
