Let your Huntingdon property to contractors.
A three-bed near the ring road or a flat near the station can suit the engineers and trades who travel to Huntingdon for work. Here is how it works.
Who needs the beds
Who a Huntingdon owner hosts
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.
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.
What suits
The practical things crews need in Huntingdon
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.
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.
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.
Your routes
Four routes for Huntingdon owners
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
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 letsHand over the running
Keep the property and the income while Maine Property Solutions runs it for you, from guests to cleaning to the monthly statement.
ManagementSell quietly
Selling is an option too, without a board or a round of viewings. The buyer pays the fee on the quiet-sale route.
Off-market salePaperwork
The Huntingdon owner's checklist
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.
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
Getting started
Starting out in Huntingdon
Across the East of England, ports, energy and construction projects bring crews who need homes with parking near the work.
A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.
Your questions
Questions from Huntingdon owners
What happens if something breaks during a stay?
As a host you arrange the repair. On management it is reported and handled for you.
Do guests stay at weekends?
Some go home at weekends and some stay on. It depends on the job.
Can the arrangement end?
Each route sets out how it ends. Read the terms with your solicitor before signing.
Is there anything to pay upfront?
Not to host with Trade Nest Stays. Commission is only taken on completed bookings.
