Crews need homes in Northampton. Yours could be one.
Project teams working across the East Midlands need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Northampton with the right property can host them.
The guests
Who books a whole home in Northampton
A working guest is usually on the road with colleagues and on a schedule set by the job. The house needs to fit the crew, the vans and the early starts.
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
Making a Northampton property work for trades
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.
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.
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
Host it, let it, hand it over or sell it
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
Prefer certainty? Maine Property Solutions can take the property on a company let agreement for a fixed monthly sum, with the voids carried on its side.
Company letsHand over the running
Hand over the running. Maine Property Solutions manages the property as serviced accommodation and sends you a monthly statement.
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 Northampton property compliant
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.
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
Getting started
How to start in Northampton
Across the East Midlands, logistics parks and road links draw engineers and site teams, so homes near the main routes suit working guests.
Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.
Your questions
Northampton owners ask
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.

Choose hands-on hosting or a hands-off company let. Both start with a short message.
