Let to the people building Inverness.
If your Inverness 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
Who books a whole home in Inverness
Working guests are people away from home for the job: crews on a construction programme, engineers on a maintenance contract, fit-out teams and project staff on secondment. They stay for the length of the work and they need somewhere practical to come back to each evening.
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 makes a Inverness property suit crews
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.
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.

Off-market salePaperwork
Getting the Inverness property compliant
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 anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
