A Coleraine house that earns from working guests.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Coleraine owners can use any of the four.
Crews and project staff
Who books a whole home in Coleraine
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.
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.
What suits
The Coleraine property checklist for crews
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.
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.

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
For a fixed figure and nothing to manage, the property can go on a company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd.
Company letsHand over the running
Keep the property and the income while Maine Property Solutions runs it for you, from guests to cleaning to the monthly statement.
ManagementSell quietly
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

What needs to be in place in Coleraine
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.
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.
Getting started
Starting out in Coleraine
Across Northern Ireland, construction and infrastructure projects bring working guests who need practical homes near site.
Send the details and choose how involved you want to be. You can host, hand over or sell. You can change your mind before signing. 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
Questions from Coleraine owners
How do I know if my Coleraine area suits crews?
Homes near motorway junctions, industrial estates, hospitals, depots and big sites tend to suit them best.
Do I need a licence?
It depends on the property and the number of guests. Check with the council before the first booking.
What about council tax?
Who pays it depends on the route you choose. It is set out in the terms before anything starts.
Can I host and use the house myself?
Yes. As a host you control which dates are open.
Own a Coleraine property that suits a crew?
Host working guests with Trade Nest Stays, or hand it over to Maine Property Solutions. No fee to talk.
