A Limavady house that earns from working guests.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Limavady owners can use any of the four.
Who the guests are
Who needs a home near the job in Limavady
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.
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.
What suits
What makes a Limavady property suit crews
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.
Durable, easy-clean furnishing suits working guests. Workwear, boots and early starts are part of the stay, so the house needs to take it in its stride.
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.
Your routes
From hands-on to hands-off
Host it yourself

Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum
Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.
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
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.

Before any guest stays in Limavady
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.
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.

Your questions
What Limavady owners want to know
Can a Limavady flat work for contractors?
Yes, where the lease allows it and there is parking. Self-contained flats suit engineers who travel light.
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.
