Homes wanted · Bordesley GreenOwners in Bordesley Green: three ways to work with us.
Maine Stays hosts contractors, NHS staff, corporate teams and families in whole, furnished homes. If you own one in Bordesley Green, there are three ways it could join them.
Who books
Who would live in your home.
Working guests look after a home well. They are there to work and rest, they book for the length of a job and they treat the house as their own base.
Our guests are working away from home: engineers on long contracts, nurses and doctors on placements, project managers and site teams. Some are families between homes. They book whole houses in the West Midlands and want them to feel like home for the length of their stay.
What works
What suits working guests.
We look for homes a working guest would be glad to come back to after a long day.
- A kitchen big enough to cook a proper meal
- Current gas, electrical and energy certificates
- A layout that gives each guest some privacy
- Good repair, with no major works outstanding
- A lender and insurer who allow the use
The choices
Management, a company let or a quiet sale.
We manage it
Management keeps the upside with you: when the home is booked you earn. We take a fee on the room revenue only.

One agreement, one lessee and one fixed monthly sum, with your solicitor reading the terms first.
Read more →Sell it quietly
For owners ready to sell privately: an introduction to investors, vacant or with occupiers in place.
Read more →Council placements
Self-contained homes can house families a council needs to place. Maine Property Solutions explains what that takes.
