Maine Stays / Homes wanted / Birmingham
Homes wanted · BirminghamHomes wanted in Birmingham for working guests.
Management, a company let or an off-market sale through Maine Property Solutions. You choose the route; we set out each one plainly.
Who stays
The guests your home would host.
The people who stay in the homes we run are mostly at work all day. They want a quiet street, a kitchen they can cook in and a home that is clean when they arrive.
A guest might be here for a week of commissioning work or three months on a placement. Either way they want the same things: space, quiet and a kitchen.
Homes that suit

A home does not need to be large or new. It needs to be self-contained, well kept and easy to live in.

Birmingham and the Birmingham City Council area.
Birmingham is in the Birmingham City Council area of the West Midlands. Questions about using a home for short stays, such as planning and council tax, are for Birmingham City Council. We work through them with you before anything starts.
The homes Maine Stays runs today are in Coventry and in Brierley Hill, each one named on our site.
Guests looking for a stay in Birmingham can see how Maine Stays presents it on our Birmingham accommodation page.
Housing officers at Birmingham City Council can read our accommodation page for the council.
Birmingham, population 1,144,900 at the 2021 Census, puts a lot within one walk. The Library of Birmingham and Symphony Hall both sit on Centenary Square; Utilita Arena Birmingham is at B1 2AA, a short walk from New Street, Moor Street, Snow Hill and Five Ways. The Jewellery Quarter — World Craft City since 2025, home of the Assay Office founded in 1773 and the Grade I listed St Paul's Church of 1779 — is a district rather than a street. Cadbury World is at B30 1JR, fifteen minutes' walk from Bournville station on the Cross-City Line out of New Street. Tell us your dates and we will source you accommodation in the city.
Maine Property Solutions sets out its own company let terms for Birmingham and its management service.
