A East Kilbride house that earns from working guests.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around East Kilbride need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Working guests
The people East Kilbride projects bring in
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
The East Kilbride 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.
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.

Safety and consents for East Kilbride owners
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.
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
Getting started

Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes 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. One message covers every route. Say what the property is and what you want from it.
Your questions
What East Kilbride owners want to know
What kind of East Kilbride 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.
Own a East Kilbride property that suits a crew?
Host working guests with Trade Nest Stays, or hand it over to Maine Property Solutions. No fee to talk.
