Working guests for Banbury property owners.
Project teams working across the South East need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Banbury with the right property can host them.
Who needs the beds
Who a Banbury owner hosts
A working guest is usually on the road with colleagues and on a schedule set by the job. The house needs to fit the crew, the vans and the early starts.
Most working guests travel as a team. Four or five people who work together all day would rather share a house with a kitchen and a lounge than spend months in separate hotel rooms.
What suits
The practical things crews need in Banbury
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.
A house that is safe, warm, well lit and easy to check into will suit working guests. Self check-in helps crews who arrive late after a long day on the road.
Homes near hospitals, depots, ports and business parks suit the engineers and project staff who work there. So do homes near the big construction sites.

Getting the Banbury property compliant
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
Consents come first. If there is a mortgage, the lender needs to agree to the use in writing. The insurance has to cover short and mid-length stays.
Getting started
Starting with a Banbury property
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Banbury
How do I know if my Banbury area suits crews?
Homes near motorway junctions, industrial estates, hospitals, depots and big sites tend to suit them best.
Do I need a licence?
It depends on the property and the number of guests. Check with the council before the first booking.
What about council tax?
Who pays it depends on the route you choose. It is set out in the terms before anything starts.
Can I host and use the house myself?
Yes. As a host you control which dates are open.
