A Leicester home for crews and project staff.
Whether your Leicester property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.
Who books
The people Leicester projects bring in
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.
Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.
What suits
What sells a Leicester home to a crew
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.
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.

For a leasehold flat the lease decides what is allowed. It is worth reading the restrictions before anything else, because they can rule a flat in or out.
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
Getting started
Beginning with your Leicester home
Across the East Midlands, logistics parks and road links draw engineers and site teams, so homes near the main routes suit working guests.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen.
