Let to contractors

Contractor lets in Brighton and Hove, done properly.

Project teams working across the South East need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Brighton and Hove with the right property can host them.

Who you would host

Crews working in and around Brighton and Hove

Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.

Crews who work away value the same things wherever they are: a bed each, somewhere to cook, a washing machine and parking. A home that offers those is the one they come back to.

What suits

What crews look for in Brighton and Hove

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.

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.

Flats work too, where the building allows short and mid-length stays and there is somewhere to park. A self-contained flat near the station suits engineers who travel light.

Your routes

Four ways to use your Brighton and Hove property

Host it yourself

List the property with Trade Nest Stays and stay in control. Commission is only taken on completed bookings and you choose which bookings to take.

Apply to host

A fixed monthly sum

For a fixed figure and nothing to manage, the property can go on a company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd.

Company lets

Hand over the running

Hand over the running. Maine Property Solutions manages the property as serviced accommodation and sends you a monthly statement.

Management

Sell 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 sale

Paperwork

The checks that come first in Brighton and Hove

Consents come first. If there is a mortgage, the lender needs to agree to the use in writing. The insurance has to cover short and mid-length stays.

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.
