Let to the people building York.
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 York property.
Who stays
Who a York owner hosts
A working guest is usually on the road with colleagues and on a schedule set by the job. The house needs to fit the crew, the vans and the early starts.
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 crews look for in York
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.
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.
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.

Papers to have ready in York
Before anything is signed, the paperwork is checked: title, lender consent, insurance, certificates and, for a flat, the lease.
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
Taking the first step in York
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, industrial and infrastructure work draws crews from around the country. Homes near the main routes suit them.
Nothing is signed on a phone call. The first conversation is about the property and what you want it to do. 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
What York owners want to know
Can a York flat work for contractors?
Yes, where the lease allows it and there is parking. Self-contained flats suit engineers who travel light.
What does management cover?
Guests, cleaning, repairs reporting and a monthly statement, run by Maine Property Solutions.
Do I choose who stays?
As a host, yes: you accept or reject every booking.
What insurance do I need?
Cover that allows short and mid-length stays by working guests. A standard landlord policy may not.
