A Downpatrick home for crews and project staff.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Downpatrick owners can use any of the four.
Crews and project staff
The people Downpatrick projects bring in
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.
Contractor stays are booked around a job. A crew arrives when the work starts and leaves when it finishes, so the booking follows the programme rather than the school holidays.
What suits
Making a Downpatrick property work for trades
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.
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.
Your routes
From hands-on to hands-off
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 hostA fixed monthly sum
A company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee gives you one payment on the same date every month, whether or not anyone is staying.
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.

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.
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

Your questions
Downpatrick owners ask
What kind of Downpatrick property suits crews?
Whole houses with enough beds for a crew, parking for vans, a kitchen and a washing machine, close to the work.
Can I get a fixed monthly figure instead?
Yes. Maine Property Solutions can take the property on a company let agreement and pay the same sum each month.
Is a company let the same as a tenancy?
No. It is a commercial agreement with a company. Your solicitor should read it before you sign.
Can I sell instead?
Yes. A quiet sale to investors needs no listing and costs you nothing; the buyer pays the fee.
Which route suits your Downpatrick property?
Whether you want control or certainty, there is a route for your property. There is nothing to pay to ask.
