Let to contractors

Your Chester property, full of working guests.

Project teams working across the North West need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Chester with the right property can host them.

Guests on a job

Crews, engineers and project staff in Chester

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.

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 working guests value in Cheshire

Location matters more than decor. A house close to a motorway junction, an industrial estate or a major site cuts the daily drive. That is what an employer is paying for.

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

Pick the route that suits you

Host it yourself

Host working guests yourself with Trade Nest Stays: you set the price, you accept or reject every booking and there is no upfront fee.

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

If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.

Management

Sell quietly

Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.

Off-market sale

Paperwork

The checks that come first in Chester

Get the certificates together early: gas, electrical, energy performance and alarms. They are the first things checked and the usual reason a start date slips.

For a leasehold flat the lease decides what is allowed. It is worth reading the restrictions before anything else, because they can rule a flat in or out.

Getting started

The first conversation about Chester

Across the North West, industrial sites, ports and infrastructure work bring crews in from elsewhere. Homes with parking near the main routes suit them.

A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. 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.
