Let to the people building Dorking.
A three-bed near the ring road or a flat near the station can suit the engineers and trades who travel to Dorking for work. Here is how it works.
Who stays
Crews working in and around Dorking
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.
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
Property that works for contractors in Dorking
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.
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.
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.
Your routes
Your options in Dorking
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
If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.
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
Papers to have ready in Dorking
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.
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.
Getting started
How to start in Dorking
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that. Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation.
Your questions
Questions from Dorking owners
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.
