A Stirling home for crews and project staff.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Stirling owners can use any of the four.
Working guests
The people Stirling projects bring in
Contractor stays are booked around a job. A crew arrives when the work starts and leaves when it finishes, so the booking follows the programme rather than the school holidays.
Engineers, electricians, surveyors, rail crews and fit-out teams all travel for work. When a job lasts weeks rather than days, a whole home suits them far better than a hotel.
What suits
What working guests value in Stirlingshire
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.
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
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.

Consents and certificates in Stirling
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.
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.
Getting started
The first conversation about Stirling
Across Scotland, energy, infrastructure and construction work bring crews who need whole homes near the job.
It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that. Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do.
