Your Bury St Edmunds property, full of working guests.
Whether your Bury St Edmunds property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.
Who stays
The people Bury St Edmunds projects bring in
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.
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
Getting a Bury St Edmunds home crew-ready
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.
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.
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.

Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.

Safety and consents for Bury St Edmunds owners
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.
The lender, the insurer and, for a flat, the freeholder all have a say. Getting all three in writing first saves a lot of trouble later.
