Crews need homes in Elgin. Yours could be one.
Project teams working across Scotland need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Elgin with the right property can host them.
Guests on a job
The working guests who come to Elgin
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.
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.
What suits
The Elgin property checklist for crews
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
Durable, easy-clean furnishing suits working guests. Workwear, boots and early starts are part of the stay, so the house needs to take it in its stride.
Parking is the first thing a crew asks about. A house with room for two vans outside will be booked ahead of a nicer one with parking two streets away.

Safety and consents for Elgin owners
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.
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.

Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Elgin
What if my Elgin house needs work first?
For letting it needs to be safe and ready. For a quiet sale it can go as it is.
Do working guests cook?
Most do. A usable kitchen with enough space for the whole crew matters a great deal.
Are cleans needed between stays?
Yes. As a host you arrange them; on management or a company let they are handled for you.
Can I let one floor and live on another?
Only where the home is properly self-contained and your insurer and lender agree.
Which route suits your Elgin property?
Choose hands-on hosting or a hands-off company let. Both start with a short message.
