A Falkirk house that earns from working guests.
Host crews yourself with Trade Nest Stays, or take a fixed monthly sum through our group's property company. Both start with one conversation about your Falkirk property.
Guests on a job
The people Falkirk 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.
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
What crews look for in Falkirk
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.
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
Host it, let it, hand it over or sell it
Host it yourself
Hosting suits owners who want control. You decide the price and which bookings to accept. There is nothing to pay upfront.
Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum
Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.
Company letsHand over the running
Hand over the running. Maine Property Solutions manages the property as serviced accommodation and sends you a monthly statement.
ManagementSell quietly
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

Before the first crew arrives in Falkirk
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.
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.
Getting started
Starting with a Falkirk property
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. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Falkirk
How do I know if my Falkirk 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.
Let your Falkirk property to working guests.
