Working guests for Norwich property owners.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Norwich need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Guests on a job
Guests on a job in Norfolk
The guests are trades and professionals working away. A crew fitting out a building, a team of engineers on a shutdown or a site manager on a long project all need the same thing: a proper home close to the work.
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.
What suits
The Norwich property checklist for crews
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.
Flats work too, where the building allows short and mid-length stays and there is somewhere to park. A self-contained flat near the station suits engineers who travel light.

Consents and certificates in Norwich
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.
Get the certificates together early: gas, electrical, energy performance and alarms. They are the first things checked and the usual reason a start date slips.
Getting started
How to start in Norwich
Across the East of England, ports, energy and construction projects bring crews who need homes with parking near the work.
Send the details and choose how involved you want to be. You can host, hand over or sell. You can change your mind before signing. A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen.
Your questions
Questions from Norwich owners
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.
