Let to contractors

Long Eaton: homes for the crews doing the work.

Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Long Eaton owners can use any of the four.

Crews and project staff

Working away in Long Eaton

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.

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 Long Eaton homes working guests ask for

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.

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.

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.

Your routes

How Long Eaton owners work with us

Host it yourself

List the property with Trade Nest Stays and stay in control. Commission is only taken on completed bookings and you choose which bookings to take.

Apply to host

A 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 lets

Hand 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.

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

The paperwork for a Long Eaton contractor let

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.

Consents come first. If there is a mortgage, the lender needs to agree to the use in writing. The insurance has to cover short and mid-length stays.

Getting started

From first message to guests in Long Eaton

Across the East Midlands, logistics parks and road links draw engineers and site teams, so homes near the main routes suit working guests.

Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.

Your questions

Long Eaton owners ask

Can a Long Eaton 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.

Which route suits your Long Eaton property?

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