Crews need homes in Taunton. Yours could be one.
Trade Nest Stays brings working guests. Our group's property company takes property on company lets, manages it or sells it quietly. Taunton owners can use any of the four.
Who books
Crews, engineers and project staff in Taunton
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
Making a Taunton property work for trades
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.
Location matters more than decor. A house close to a motorway junction, an industrial estate or a major site cuts the daily drive. That is what an employer is paying for.
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.

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

For a fixed figure and nothing to manage, the property can go on a company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd.

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.

The paperwork for a Taunton contractor let
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.
Compliance is the owner's foundation for working guests: safe gas and electrics, working alarms and an insurer who knows how the property is being used.
Getting started
Where Taunton owners begin
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
It starts with the property itself: its size, its parking and how far it is from the work. The route follows from that. Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you.
