Let to the people building Bath.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Bath owners can use any of the four.
Crews and project staff
Who stays in a Bath contractor let
Engineers, electricians, surveyors, rail crews and fit-out teams all travel for work. When a job lasts weeks rather than days, a whole home suits them far better than a hotel.
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 Somerset
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.
The homes that work are practical ones: enough bedrooms for the crew, a kitchen with space for everyone, a washing machine and parking for vans and trailers.
Your routes
Choose how involved you want to be
Host it yourself
Keep hold of the keys and host crews yourself. Trade Nest Stays brings the working guests; you set the price and the dates.
Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum
A company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee gives you one payment on the same date every month, whether or not anyone is staying.
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.
Off-market salePaperwork
The Bath owner's checklist
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.
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.

Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Bath
What happens if something breaks during a stay?
As a host you arrange the repair. On management it is reported and handled for you.
Do guests stay at weekends?
Some go home at weekends and some stay on. It depends on the job.
Can the arrangement end?
Each route sets out how it ends. Read the terms with your solicitor before signing.
Is there anything to pay upfront?
Not to host with Trade Nest Stays. Commission is only taken on completed bookings.
