Homes wanted · Marston GreenWe want houses and flats in Marston Green.
Maine Stays hosts contractors, NHS staff, corporate teams and families in whole, furnished homes. If you own one in Marston Green, there are three ways it could join them.
Who books
Who would live in your home.
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.
Guests range from a single engineer on a long package to a team of six on a short one. What they share is a need for a home that works as a base during the working week.
What works
The kind of property we are after.
A home does not need to be large or new. It needs to be self-contained, well kept and easy to live in.
- 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
