Let your Falmouth property to contractors.
Whether your Falmouth property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.
Who you would host
The working guests who come to Falmouth
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.
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
The Falmouth property checklist for crews
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.
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.
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.
Your routes
Host it, let it, hand it over or sell it
Host it yourself
Hosting suits owners who want control. You decide the price and which bookings to accept. There is nothing to pay upfront.
Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum
For a fixed figure and nothing to manage, the property can go on a company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd.
Company letsHand over the running
Hand over the running. Maine Property Solutions manages the property as serviced accommodation and sends you a monthly statement.

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

The Falmouth owner's checklist
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.
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
Starting with a Falmouth property
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. It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that.

Your questions
Falmouth owners ask
Do contractors need a whole house in Falmouth?
Usually. A crew that works together all day would rather share a home with a kitchen and a lounge than spend weeks in separate rooms.
Is parking a deal-breaker?
Often. Vans and trailers need somewhere to go, so off-street parking puts a house ahead of one without it.
Who pays for the stay?
Normally the employer, as the booking is made for work.
Can a flat above a shop work?
It can, where the lease and the insurance allow it and there is somewhere to park.
