Maine Stays / Homes wanted / Sheldon
Homes wanted · SheldonPut your Sheldon property to work.
A whole home in Sheldon, looked after properly and used by guests who are here to work.
Who stays
Working guests, not holidaymakers.
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.
Most guests book through their employer or on their own account for work. They need a kitchen, a proper bed and somewhere to park, for a few nights or several months at a time.
The right home
What suits working guests.
Guests choose homes for practical reasons. These are the ones that matter most.
- Good repair, with no major works outstanding
- A lender and insurer who allow the use
- A whole house or a self-contained flat
- Furnished, or ready to furnish
- Vacant now or coming vacant soon
Three routes
What happens to the home.

Owning a home in Sheldon.
Homes in Sheldon come under Birmingham City Council. That is the authority for planning and council tax on the property, so it is worth knowing its position before a home changes use.
The homes Maine Stays runs today are in Coventry and in Brierley Hill, each one named on our site.

Questions from owners in Sheldon.
Is Maine Stays the same company as Maine Property Solutions?
Maine Stays is a trading name of Maine Property Solutions Ltd. Owners sign with 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.
Do you take flats?
