Let to the people building St Davids.
Project teams working across Wales need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in St Davids with the right property can host them.
Guests on a job
Crews, engineers and project staff in St Davids
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.
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.
What suits
What makes a St Davids property suit crews
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.
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.
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.

Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.
Off-market salePaperwork
Before any guest stays in St Davids
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
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.
Getting started
From first message to guests in St Davids
Across Wales, energy, infrastructure and industrial projects bring engineers and trades who need practical homes near the work.
Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation.
