Your Rochester property, full of working guests.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Rochester owners can use any of the four.
The guests
The working guests who come to Rochester
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.
Most working guests travel as a team. Four or five people who work together all day would rather share a house with a kitchen and a lounge than spend months in separate hotel rooms.
What suits
What working guests value in Kent
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.
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.
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.
Your routes
From hands-on to hands-off
Host it yourself
Keep hold of the keys and host crews yourself. Trade Nest Stays brings the working guests; you set the price and the dates.
Apply to hostA fixed monthly sum

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
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.
Off-market salePaperwork
Before any guest stays in Rochester
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.
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
Taking the first step in Rochester
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking 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. Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed.
Your questions
What Rochester owners want to know
Do contractors need a whole house in Rochester?
Usually. A crew that works together all day would rather share a home with a kitchen and a lounge than spend weeks in separate rooms.
Is parking a deal-breaker?
Often. Vans and trailers need somewhere to go, so off-street parking puts a house ahead of one without it.
Who pays for the stay?
Normally the employer, as the booking is made for work.
Can a flat above a shop work?
It can, where the lease and the insurance allow it and there is somewhere to park.
Which route suits your Rochester property?
A few lines about the property is enough to start. The terms are always written down first.
