A Gateshead home for crews and project staff.
If your Gateshead property suits a crew, it can earn from one. If you would rather not run it, it can be let on a company let agreement for a fixed monthly sum.
Guests on a job
Crews working in and around Gateshead
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.
Most working guests travel as a team. Four or five people who work together all day would rather share a house with a kitchen and a lounge than spend months in separate hotel rooms.
What suits
What working guests value in Tyne and Wear
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.

Consents and certificates in Gateshead
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.
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.

Across the North East, energy, manufacturing and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need practical homes close to the work.

Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Gateshead
Why let to working guests rather than a long let?
Some owners want flexibility and control over their calendar. Others prefer a fixed monthly sum. Both routes are open.
Who looks after the property between stays?
As a host you arrange it. On management or a company let, it is handled for you.
Does my flat need freeholder consent?
Read the lease first. Many leases need consent for short and mid-length stays.
Is there any cost to ask?
No. There is no fee to find out which route suits your property.
