Your Truro 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. Truro owners can use any of the four.
Guests on a job
Who needs a home near the job in Truro
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 sells a Truro home to a crew
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.
A house that is safe, warm, well lit and easy to check into will suit working guests. Self check-in helps crews who arrive late after a long day on the road.
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
Four routes for Truro owners
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
Prefer certainty? Maine Property Solutions can take the property on a company let agreement for a fixed monthly sum, with the voids carried on its side.
Company letsHand over the running
Hand over the running. Maine Property Solutions manages the property as serviced accommodation and sends you a monthly statement.
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.
Off-market salePaperwork
Before any guest stays in Truro
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
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
Starting out in Truro
Across the South West, energy, defence and construction projects bring working guests who need practical homes close to site.
Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation. A postcode area, the number of bedrooms and the parking situation are enough to start. The rest follows once a route is chosen.
Your questions
Before you let to contractors in Truro
How do I know if my Truro area suits crews?
Homes near motorway junctions, industrial estates, hospitals, depots and big sites tend to suit them best.
Do I need a licence?
It depends on the property and the number of guests. Check with the council before the first booking.
What about council tax?
Who pays it depends on the route you choose. It is set out in the terms before anything starts.
Can I host and use the house myself?
Yes. As a host you control which dates are open.
