A Stoke-on-Trent house that earns from working guests.
Whether your Stoke-on-Trent property is empty between tenancies or waiting for a buyer, working guests can keep it occupied while you decide what comes next.
Who you would host
Guests on a job in Staffordshire
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.
Most working guests travel as a team. Four or five people who work together all day would rather share a house with a kitchen and a lounge than spend months in separate hotel rooms.
What suits
Property that works for contractors in Stoke-on-Trent
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.

Safety and consents for Stoke-on-Trent owners
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.
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
Getting started
Starting with a Stoke-on-Trent property
Across the West Midlands, the motorway network and the big regeneration schemes keep crews moving between towns, so homes with good road links suit them.
One message covers every route. Say what the property is and what you want from it. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.
