Let your Bournemouth property to contractors.
A three-bed near the ring road or a flat near the station can suit the engineers and trades who travel to Bournemouth for work. Here is how it works.
Guests on a job
The people Bournemouth projects bring in
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.
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
Property that works for contractors in Bournemouth
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.
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
Your routes
Four ways to use your Bournemouth property
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
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
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 paperwork for a Bournemouth contractor let
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 anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
Getting started
Getting going in Bournemouth
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation. 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
Before you let to contractors in Bournemouth
How long do working guests stay?
As long as the job lasts, which varies from booking to booking.
Can I switch routes later?
Often, yes. The terms of each arrangement say how and when.
Is furniture needed?
Yes. Working guests need a furnished home with separate beds, a kitchen and laundry.
Who do I speak to first?
Send the property details and the route you are interested in. Everything is written down before anything is agreed.
