Your Rotherham property, full of working guests.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Rotherham need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
The people who stay
Who needs a home near the job in Rotherham
These are guests with a job to get to in the morning. They want a good night's sleep, a quick breakfast and parking for the van outside, not a city-centre view.
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.
What suits
What crews look for in Rotherham
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.
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.

Before the first crew arrives in Rotherham
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.
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.
Getting started
Your first step in Rotherham
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, industrial and infrastructure work draws crews from around the country. Homes near the main routes suit them.
A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you.
