Your Gravesend property, full of 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 Gravesend property.
Working guests
Crews working in and around Gravesend
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.
Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.
What suits
What sells a Gravesend home to a crew
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.
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.
The homes that work are practical ones: enough bedrooms for the crew, a kitchen with space for everyone, a washing machine and parking for vans and trailers.

What needs to be in place in Gravesend
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.
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
Getting going in Gravesend
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
The first step is a short message. The town, the property and whether you want to host, take a fixed sum, hand over the running or sell. A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen.
