Working guests for Livingston property owners.
Some Livingston owners host working guests themselves. Others prefer a fixed figure and nothing to manage. Either way the property works for the people doing the job.
The people who stay
Working away in Livingston
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.
Crews who work away value the same things wherever they are: a bed each, somewhere to cook, a washing machine and parking. A home that offers those is the one they come back to.
What suits
What sells a Livingston home to a crew
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.
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.

Before any guest stays in Livingston
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.
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
Getting started
From first message to guests in Livingston
Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes near the job.
A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed.

Your questions
What Livingston owners want to know
What kind of Livingston 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.
