Crews and project staff
Crews working in and around St Austell
The guests are trades and professionals working away. A crew fitting out a building, a team of engineers on a shutdown or a site manager on a long project all need the same thing: a proper home close to the work.
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
The St Austell homes working guests ask for
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.
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.

What needs to be in place in St Austell
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.
Before the first guest arrives, the basics need to be in place: a current gas safety record, an electrical report, an energy performance certificate and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Getting started

Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed.
Your questions
St Austell owners ask
Do contractors need a whole house in St Austell?
Usually. A crew that works together all day would rather share a home with a kitchen and a lounge than spend weeks in separate rooms.
Is parking a deal-breaker?
Often. Vans and trailers need somewhere to go, so off-street parking puts a house ahead of one without it.
Who pays for the stay?
Normally the employer, as the booking is made for work.
Can a flat above a shop work?
It can, where the lease and the insurance allow it and there is somewhere to park.
Own a St Austell property that suits a crew?
A few lines about the property is enough to start. The terms are always written down first.
