Let to the people building Salisbury.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Salisbury need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
The guests
Who needs a home near the job in Salisbury
The people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.
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
What sells a Salisbury home to a crew
A house that is safe, warm, well lit and easy to check into will suit working guests. Self check-in helps crews who arrive late after a long day on the road.
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
Your routes
Pick the route that suits you
Host it yourself
Hosting suits owners who want control. You decide the price and which bookings to accept. There is nothing to pay upfront.
Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum
Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.
Company letsHand over the running
Keep the property and the income while Maine Property Solutions runs it for you, from guests to cleaning to the monthly statement.
ManagementSell quietly
Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.

The checks that come first in Salisbury
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.
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
Starting out in Salisbury
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask. 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
Before you let to contractors in Salisbury
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.
