A Bodmin house that earns from working guests.
Whether your Bodmin property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.
Who stays
Who books a whole home in Bodmin
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.
Engineers, electricians, surveyors, rail crews and fit-out teams all travel for work. When a job lasts weeks rather than days, a whole home suits them far better than a hotel.
What suits
Making a Bodmin property work for trades
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.
Whole houses with two to five bedrooms suit crews best, especially with a driveway or off-street parking. Separate beds for everyone on the booking matter more than a feature wall.
The homes that work are practical ones: enough bedrooms for the crew, a kitchen with space for everyone, a washing machine and parking for vans and trailers.

Before the first crew arrives in Bodmin
Get the certificates together early: gas, electrical, energy performance and alarms. They are the first things checked and the usual reason a start date slips.
Before the first guest arrives, the basics need to be in place: a current gas safety record, an electrical report, an energy performance certificate and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Getting started
From first message to guests in Bodmin
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask.
