From empty to occupied by crews in Oldham.
If your Oldham 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.
Working guests
Who needs a home near the job in Oldham
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.
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
Getting a Oldham home crew-ready
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
Durable, easy-clean furnishing suits working guests. Workwear, boots and early starts are part of the stay, so the house needs to take it in its stride.
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.

The paperwork for a Oldham contractor let
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.
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.
Getting started
Where Oldham owners begin
Across the North West, industrial sites, ports and infrastructure work bring crews in from elsewhere. Homes with parking near the main routes suit them.
Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. 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.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Oldham
How do I know if my Oldham area suits crews?
Homes near motorway junctions, industrial estates, hospitals, depots and big sites tend to suit them best.
Do I need a licence?
It depends on the property and the number of guests. Check with the council before the first booking.
What about council tax?
Who pays it depends on the route you choose. It is set out in the terms before anything starts.
Can I host and use the house myself?
Yes. As a host you control which dates are open.
Which route suits your Oldham property?
Whether you want control or certainty, there is a route for your property. There is nothing to pay to ask.
