Homes wanted · LeicesterLet, lease or sell your Leicester home.
The homes our guests book come from owners like you. Here is how it works in Leicester.
Our guests
Guests who are here to work.
Teams on a project often want to stay together without sharing a bathroom. Families between homes want space and normality. A whole house answers both.
Our guests are people with a reason to be in the area: a contract, a hospital rota, a relocation or a house being repaired. They need a whole home, not a room.
The right home
What suits working guests.
The practical things count for more than the finish. This is the checklist we start with.
- A quiet residential street
- Good broadband, or a line that can take it
- A kitchen big enough to cook a proper meal
- Current gas, electrical and energy certificates
- A layout that gives each guest some privacy
The choices
Management, a company let or a quiet sale.
We manage it
For owners who want the income from working guests without the work of hosting them.

Before you decide.
Leicester is in the Leicester City Council area of Leicestershire. Questions about using a home for short stays, such as planning and council tax, are for Leicester City Council. We work through them with you before anything starts.
Our homes are Sullivan Heights and Humber Hub in Coventry and The Merry Hill Lounge in the Dudley borough.

Is Maine Stays the same company as Maine Property Solutions?

Could my home be used for council housing?
A whole, self-contained home can be, once the lender, freeholder and insurer have agreed.
What if my home needs work?
For a quiet sale any condition is considered. For the other routes it needs to be in good repair.
