From empty to occupied by crews in Ayr.
Crews working in South Ayrshire need somewhere to stay that is not a hotel. A whole home in Ayr lets them live together and get to site on time.
Crews and project staff
The people Ayr projects bring in
Working guests are people away from home for the job: crews on a construction programme, engineers on a maintenance contract, fit-out teams and project staff on secondment. They stay for the length of the work and they need somewhere practical to come back to each evening.
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 sells a Ayr home to a crew
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.
Whole houses with two to five bedrooms suit crews best, especially with a driveway or off-street parking. Separate beds for everyone on the booking matter more than a feature wall.
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.
Your routes
The routes, side by side
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 hostA 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 letsHand over the running
If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.
ManagementSell quietly
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

Consents and certificates in Ayr
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.
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
Your first step in Ayr
Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes near the job.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen.
Your questions
What Ayr owners want to know
What kind of Ayr property suits crews?
Whole houses with enough beds for a crew, parking for vans, a kitchen and a washing machine, close to the work.
Can I get a fixed monthly figure instead?
Yes. Maine Property Solutions can take the property on a company let agreement and pay the same sum each month.
Is a company let the same as a tenancy?
No. It is a commercial agreement with a company. Your solicitor should read it before you sign.
Can I sell instead?
Yes. A quiet sale to investors needs no listing and costs you nothing; the buyer pays the fee.
Let your Ayr property to working guests.
Whether you want control or certainty, there is a route for your property. There is nothing to pay to ask.
