Let to contractors

Let to the people building Runcorn.

Whether your Runcorn property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.

The guests

Crews working in and around Runcorn

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.

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.

What suits

What crews look for in Runcorn

Whole houses with two to five bedrooms suit crews best, especially with a driveway or off-street parking. Separate beds for everyone on the booking matter more than a feature wall.

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.

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.

Company lets

Hand over the running

If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.

Management

Sell quietly

Sell quietly. The property is registered for an off-market sale and introduced to investors, with no board, no portal and no fee to you.

Off-market sale

Paperwork

Getting the Runcorn property compliant

Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.

Compliance is the owner's foundation for working guests: safe gas and electrics, working alarms and an insurer who knows how the property is being used.

Getting started

Starting with a Runcorn property

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. Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you.
