Homes wanted · Knowle and DorridgeOwners in Knowle and Dorridge: three ways to work with us.
No board outside and no listing online while you decide. Talk to us first and keep every option open.
Our guests
Guests who are here to work.
Our guests are working away from home: engineers on long contracts, nurses and doctors on placements, project managers and site teams. Some are families between homes. They book whole houses in the West Midlands and want them to feel like home for the length of their stay.
Guests range from a single engineer on a long package to a team of six on a short one. What they share is a need for a home that works as a base during the working week.
