From empty to occupied by crews in Dundee.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Dundee need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Who books
Working away in Dundee
Working guests are people away from home for the job: crews on a construction programme, engineers on a maintenance contract, fit-out teams and project staff on secondment. They stay for the length of the work and they need somewhere practical to come back to each evening.
A working guest is usually on the road with colleagues and on a schedule set by the job. The house needs to fit the crew, the vans and the early starts.
What suits
What crews look for in Dundee
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.
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.

What needs to be in place in Dundee
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.
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.
Getting started
From first message to guests in Dundee
Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes near the job.
It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that. 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
What Dundee owners want to know
Can a Dundee flat work for contractors?
Yes, where the lease allows it and there is parking. Self-contained flats suit engineers who travel light.
What does management cover?
Guests, cleaning, repairs reporting and a monthly statement, run by Maine Property Solutions.
Do I choose who stays?
As a host, yes: you accept or reject every booking.
What insurance do I need?
Cover that allows short and mid-length stays by working guests. A standard landlord policy may not.
