Portadown: homes for the crews doing the work.
Project teams working across Northern Ireland need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Portadown with the right property can host them.
Who stays
Who needs a home near the job in Portadown
A working guest is usually on the road with colleagues and on a schedule set by the job. The house needs to fit the crew, the vans and the early starts.
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 crews look for in Portadown
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.
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.

Papers to have ready in Portadown
Insurance is the paper owners most often forget. A standard landlord policy may not cover working guests, so the cover needs checking before the first booking.
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.
