Let to contractors

A Hitchin house that earns from working guests.

If your Hitchin 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.

Who the guests are

Who needs a home near the job in Hitchin

The people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.

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

The practical things crews need in Hitchin

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.

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.

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.

A fixed monthly sum

A company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd as the lessee gives you one payment on the same date every month, whether or not anyone is staying.

Company lets

Hand over the running

Management keeps the asset and the income with you, less a fee, while the day-to-day is handled for you.

Management

Sell 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.

Off-market sale

Paperwork

Before the first crew arrives in Hitchin

Compliance is the owner's foundation for working guests: safe gas and electrics, working alarms and an insurer who knows how the property is being used.

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

Your first step in Hitchin

Across the East of England, ports, energy and construction projects bring crews who need homes with parking near the work.

Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. Send a few lines about the property. You can compare every route before deciding. There is no fee to ask.

Your questions

Hitchin owners ask

What if my Hitchin house needs work first?

For letting it needs to be safe and ready. For a quiet sale it can go as it is.

Do working guests cook?

Most do. A usable kitchen with enough space for the whole crew matters a great deal.

Are cleans needed between stays?

Yes. As a host you arrange them; on management or a company let they are handled for you.

Can I let one floor and live on another?

Only where the home is properly self-contained and your insurer and lender agree.

Own a Hitchin property that suits a crew?

Host working guests with Trade Nest Stays, or hand it over to Maine Property Solutions. No fee to talk.
