A Gosport home for crews and project staff.
A three-bed near the ring road or a flat near the station can suit the engineers and trades who travel to Gosport for work. Here is how it works.
Guests on a job
Working away in Gosport
The people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.
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
Property that works for contractors in Gosport
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.
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.
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.

How Gosport owners work with us
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
Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.

Safety and consents for Gosport owners
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.
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.
Getting started
Where Gosport owners begin
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed. Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Gosport
What kind of Gosport property suits crews?
Whole houses with enough beds for a crew, parking for vans, a kitchen and a washing machine, close to the work.
Can I get a fixed monthly figure instead?
Yes. Maine Property Solutions can take the property on a company let agreement and pay the same sum each month.
Is a company let the same as a tenancy?
No. It is a commercial agreement with a company. Your solicitor should read it before you sign.
Can I sell instead?
Yes. A quiet sale to investors needs no listing and costs you nothing; the buyer pays the fee.
Own a Gosport property that suits a crew?
A few lines about the property is enough to start. The terms are always written down first.
