Contractor lets in Perth, done properly.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Perth need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Crews and project staff
Who needs a home near the job in Perth
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.
Working guests are people away from home for the job: crews on a construction programme, engineers on a maintenance contract, fit-out teams and project staff on secondment. They stay for the length of the work and they need somewhere practical to come back to each evening.
What suits
What makes a Perth property suit crews
Flats work too, where the building allows short and mid-length stays and there is somewhere to park. A self-contained flat near the station suits engineers who travel light.
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.
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.

Four ways to use your Perth property
Host it yourself
Hosting suits owners who want control. You decide the price and which bookings to accept. There is nothing to pay upfront.

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.

Sell quietly. The property is registered for an off-market sale and introduced to investors, with no board, no portal and no fee to you.

Safety and consents for Perth owners
For a leasehold flat the lease decides what is allowed. It is worth reading the restrictions before anything else, because they can rule a flat in or out.
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.
Getting started
Starting out in Perth
Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes near the job.
A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen. The first step is a short message. The town, the property and whether you want to host, take a fixed sum, hand over the running or sell.
Your questions
Perth 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.
