Contractor lets in Worcester, done properly.
A three-bed near the ring road or a flat near the station can suit the engineers and trades who travel to Worcester for work. Here is how it works.
Who stays
The working guests who come to Worcester
Engineers, electricians, surveyors, rail crews and fit-out teams all travel for work. When a job lasts weeks rather than days, a whole home suits them far better than a hotel.
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
The Worcester property checklist for crews
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.
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.

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
A quiet sale keeps the property off the portals. Investors make any offer and you pay nothing on this route.

What needs to be in place in Worcester
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
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.
Getting started
Getting going in Worcester
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.
Start by sending the basics: where the property is, how many bedrooms it has, whether there is parking and which route interests you. One message covers every route. Say what the property is and what you want from it.
Your questions
Worcester owners ask
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 Worcester?
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.
