Your Woking property, full of working guests.
Host crews yourself with Trade Nest Stays, or take a fixed monthly sum through our group's property company. Both start with one conversation about your Woking property.
Who needs the beds
Who a Woking owner hosts
Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.
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.
What suits
Making a Woking 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.
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.
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.
Your routes
What you can do with it
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
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.

Getting the Woking property compliant
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.
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
Beginning with your Woking home
Across the South East, construction and infrastructure projects bring engineers and trades who need whole homes with parking near the job.
Begin with what you have and what you want. Hosting, a company let, management and a sale can all be compared in one conversation. Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you.
Your questions
Woking owners ask
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.
Which route suits your Woking property?
Send the details and compare every route before deciding. Nothing is signed on a phone call.
