Maine Stays / Homes wanted / Kingshurst
Homes wanted · KingshurstPut your Kingshurst property to work.
We are looking for well-kept houses and flats in Kingshurst for guests who are working away from home or between homes.
Our guests
Guests who are here to work.
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.
