Crews need homes in Gloucester. Yours could be one.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Gloucester owners can use any of the four.
Who you would host
Working away in Gloucester
These are guests with a job to get to in the morning. They want a good night's sleep, a quick breakfast and parking for the van outside, not a city-centre view.
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.
What suits
What makes a Gloucester property suit crews
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.
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.
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
Pick the route that suits you
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
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
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.
Off-market salePaperwork
The checks that come first in Gloucester
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
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.
Getting started
From first message to guests in Gloucester
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that. Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Gloucester
How do I know if my Gloucester 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 Gloucester property that suits a crew?
Choose hands-on hosting or a hands-off company let. Both start with a short message.
