Hereford: homes for the crews doing the work.
If your Hereford property suits a crew, it can earn from one. If you would rather not run it, it can be let on a company let agreement for a fixed monthly sum.
The guests
The people Hereford projects bring in
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.
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
What crews look for in Hereford
A house that is safe, warm, well lit and easy to check into will suit working guests. Self check-in helps crews who arrive late after a long day on the road.
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.
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.
Your routes
The routes, side by side
Host it yourself
Host working guests yourself with Trade Nest Stays: you set the price, you accept or reject every booking and there is no upfront fee.
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
Management keeps the asset and the income with you, less a fee, while the day-to-day is handled for you.
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.

Getting the Hereford property compliant
Insurance is the paper owners most often forget. A standard landlord policy may not cover working guests, so the cover needs checking before the first booking.
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
From first message to guests in Hereford
Across the West Midlands, the motorway network and the big regeneration schemes keep crews moving between towns, so homes with good road links suit them.
Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask. It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that.
Your questions
What Hereford owners want to know
Can a Hereford flat work for contractors?

What does management cover?
Guests, cleaning, repairs reporting and a monthly statement, run by Maine Property Solutions.
Do I choose who stays?
As a host, yes: you accept or reject every booking.
What insurance do I need?
Cover that allows short and mid-length stays by working guests. A standard landlord policy may not.
