Your Stourbridge property, full of working guests.
Project teams working across the West Midlands need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Stourbridge with the right property can host them.
The guests
Crews, engineers and project staff in Stourbridge
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.
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 Stourbridge property work for trades
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.
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.
Your routes
Four routes for Stourbridge owners
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 hostA fixed monthly sum
Take a fixed monthly sum. Our group's property company, Maine Property Solutions, takes the property on a company let agreement and pays the same figure each month.
Company letsHand over the running
If you want the income but not the work, Maine Property Solutions can manage the property for a percentage of booking revenue.
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.

The checks that come first in Stourbridge
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.
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.
Getting started
Starting with a Stourbridge property
Across the West Midlands, the motorway network and the big regeneration schemes keep crews moving between towns, so homes with good road links suit them.
Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Stourbridge
How do bookings reach me?
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests to hosts. You accept or reject every booking and set the price.
Do I need to live in Stourbridge?
No. Many owners live elsewhere. What matters is that repairs are dealt with quickly.
Does my mortgage allow this?
Check with your lender. Written consent for the use is needed before the first guest.
Can I block out dates?
Yes. As a host you control the calendar.
Which route suits your Stourbridge property?
A few lines about the property is enough to start. The terms are always written down first.
