Basildon: homes for the crews doing the work.
Project teams working across the East of England need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Basildon with the right property can host them.
Guests on a job
The people Basildon projects bring in
The guests are trades and professionals working away. A crew fitting out a building, a team of engineers on a shutdown or a site manager on a long project all need the same thing: a proper home close to the work.
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
What makes a Basildon property suit crews
Parking is the first thing a crew asks about. A house with room for two vans outside will be booked ahead of a nicer one with parking two streets away.
Durable, easy-clean furnishing suits working guests. Workwear, boots and early starts are part of the stay, so the house needs to take it in its stride.
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.

The checks that come first in Basildon
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
Getting started
Starting out in Basildon
Across the East of England, ports, energy and construction projects bring crews who need homes with parking near the work.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. Send the details and choose how involved you want to be. You can host, hand over or sell. You can change your mind before signing.
Your questions
Questions from Basildon owners
How do I know if my Basildon 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.
