Guests on a job
Who books a whole home in Farnham
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.
Contractor stays are booked around a job. A crew arrives when the work starts and leaves when it finishes, so the booking follows the programme rather than the school holidays.
What suits
Making a Farnham property work for trades
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.
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.
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 options in Farnham
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
Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.
Company letsHand over the running
If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.
ManagementSell quietly
If selling is the answer, it can be done without a listing: a quiet sale to investors on Maine Property Solutions' list, with the buyer paying the fee.

Consents and certificates in Farnham
Insurance is the paper owners most often forget. A standard landlord policy may not cover working guests, so the cover needs checking before the first booking.
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.
Getting started
From first message to guests in Farnham
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation.
