Let your Trowbridge property to contractors.
Contractor crews, engineers and project staff working in and around Trowbridge need whole homes near the job. If you own one, you can host them yourself or hand the whole thing over.
Who books
The working guests who come to Trowbridge
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 people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.
What suits
What crews look for in Trowbridge
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.
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.
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.
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
For a fixed figure and nothing to manage, the property can go on a company let agreement with Maine Property Solutions Ltd.
Company letsHand over the running
Management keeps the asset and the income with you, less a fee, while the day-to-day is handled for you.
ManagementSell quietly
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

Papers to have ready in Trowbridge
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.
Get the certificates together early: gas, electrical, energy performance and alarms. They are the first things checked and the usual reason a start date slips.
Getting started
How to start in Trowbridge
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
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. Tell us about the property and the route you are leaning towards. Terms are always written down before anything is agreed.
Your questions
What Trowbridge owners want to know
Why let to working guests rather than a long let?
Some owners want flexibility and control over their calendar. Others prefer a fixed monthly sum. Both routes are open.
Who looks after the property between stays?
As a host you arrange it. On management or a company let, it is handled for you.
Does my flat need freeholder consent?
Read the lease first. Many leases need consent for short and mid-length stays.
Is there any cost to ask?
No. There is no fee to find out which route suits your property.
Own a Trowbridge property that suits a crew?
Whether you want control or certainty, there is a route for your property. There is nothing to pay to ask.
