Let to contractors

Let your Sunderland property to contractors.

If your Sunderland property suits a crew, it can earn from one. If you would rather not run it, it can be let on a company let agreement for a fixed monthly sum.

The people who stay

Who stays in a Sunderland contractor let

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.

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

What working guests value in Tyne and Wear

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.

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.

Your routes

Host it, let it, hand it over or sell it

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 host

A 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 lets

Hand 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.

Management

Sell quietly

Sell quietly. The property is registered for an off-market sale and introduced to investors, with no board, no portal and no fee to you.

Off-market sale

Paperwork

Before the first crew arrives in Sunderland

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.

The lender, the insurer and, for a flat, the freeholder all have a say. Getting all three in writing first saves a lot of trouble later.

Getting started

From first message to guests in Sunderland

Across the North East, energy, manufacturing and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need practical homes close to the work.

One message covers every route. Say what the property is and what you want from it. 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.

Your questions

What Sunderland owners want to know

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.
