Working guests for Croydon property owners.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Croydon need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Who books
Crews working in and around Croydon
These are guests with a job to get to in the morning. They want a good night's sleep, a quick breakfast and parking for the van outside, not a city-centre view.
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.
What suits
The Croydon property checklist for crews
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.
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.

A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

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.
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.
Getting started
Getting going in Croydon
Across London, construction and infrastructure projects bring crews who need homes with good transport links to site.
The first step is a short message. The town, the property and whether you want to host, take a fixed sum, hand over the running or sell. It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that.
