Let to contractors

Crews need homes in Bedford. Yours could be one.

Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Bedford need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.

Crews and project staff

Who a Bedford owner hosts

Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.

The people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.

What suits

What makes a Bedford property suit crews

Location matters more than decor. A house close to a motorway junction, an industrial estate or a major site cuts the daily drive. That is what an employer is paying for.

Flats work too, where the building allows short and mid-length stays and there is somewhere to park. A self-contained flat near the station suits engineers who travel light.

Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.

Your routes

How Bedford owners work with us

Host it yourself

Hosting suits owners who want control. You decide the price and which bookings to accept. There is nothing to pay upfront.

Apply to host

A fixed monthly sum

Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.

Company lets

Hand over the running

Keep the property and the income while Maine Property Solutions runs it for you, from guests to cleaning to the monthly statement.

Management

Sell quietly

If selling is the answer, it can be done without a listing: a quiet sale to investors on Maine Property Solutions' list, with the buyer paying the fee.

Off-market sale

Paperwork

Consents and certificates in Bedford

Compliance is the owner's foundation for working guests: safe gas and electrics, working alarms and an insurer who knows how the property is being used.

Insurance is the paper owners most often forget. A standard landlord policy may not cover working guests, so the cover needs checking before the first booking.

Getting started

Starting with a Bedford property

Across the East of England, ports, energy and construction projects bring crews who need homes with parking near the work.

Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation. Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask.

What Bedford owners want to know

How do bookings reach me?

No. Many owners live elsewhere. What matters is that repairs are dealt with quickly.
