Crews need homes in St Helens. Yours could be one.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around St Helens need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Who books
Who needs a home near the job in St Helens
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.
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
The St Helens homes working guests ask for
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.
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.
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.

Company letsHand over the running
Management keeps the asset and the income with you, less a fee, while the day-to-day is handled for you.
ManagementSell quietly
If selling is the answer, it can be done without a listing: a quiet sale to investors on Maine Property Solutions' list, with the buyer paying the fee.

Getting the St Helens property compliant
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
Getting started
The first conversation about St Helens
Across the North West, industrial sites, ports and infrastructure work bring crews in from elsewhere. Homes with parking near the main routes suit them.
Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed. The first step is a short message. The town, the property and whether you want to host, take a fixed sum, hand over the running or sell.
