List your property before we go live!

Yes. Our new booking platform is a fresh system, and your details from the old referral network don’t carry across to it. Creating your host account takes around 15 minutes: add your property, set your pricing and accept our Host Terms & Conditions online. Until you’ve done that, your property isn’t in the portal and won’t be matched to enquiries from September. If you’ve worked with us before, nothing about that relationship changes – we just need you set up on the new system.

Once your property is registered and approved, it sits in our host portal ready to be matched against corporate accommodation requests. From September, when a client’s requirements match your property, you’ll receive a quote request in the portal and an email letting you know it’s waiting. Review the details, submit your quote online, and if it’s accepted the booking is confirmed in your dashboard.

No, we don’t charge providers a commission. Instead, we add a small markup to your price, which is paid by the client.

Your property isn’t published as a public page on our website (not until we officially launch our booking site). It’s held in our host portal, where our team will match it against live accommodation requests. Your contact details and business identity stay private throughout – we handle all communication on your behalf.

Yes, update your listing directly in your host portal at any time, including photos, amenities, availability, and pricing. Changes go through a quick review before they’re live. You can also pause your listing if you’re temporarily unavailable.

We provide accommodations for a diverse client base throughout the UK and Ireland. Most of our clients are contractors who seek quality accommodations for longer stays.

• Speed: Respond quickly to quote requests.
• Pricing: Offer competitive rates that are ideally better than those on other platforms.
• Visibility: Keep property images updated and consider a video walkthrough.
• Parking Info: Provide the nearest free parking information if your property doesn’t offer it.
• Flexibility: Zip and link beds provide flexible arrangements and are often preferred.

We cannot guarantee more bookings, as it depends on the specific demands of our clients. However, if you’re seeking comprehensive property management services to improve occupancy rates, visit our management page here to learn more about how we can help optimise your property’s performance.

Your property should meet the minimum safety criteria and hold certifications as per UK legislation. Ensure compliance with the standards outlined in our referral Terms and Conditions.

You’ll be notified in your host portal and by email as soon as a decision is made. If your quote is accepted you’ll see the booking confirmed in your dashboard. If another property was chosen, you’ll be told – you won’t be left guessing.

We seek quality accommodations across the UK and Ireland, prioritising properties that meet our safety, cleanliness, and client experience standards. Flexibility in sleeping arrangements (e.g., zip and link beds) and amenities like parking are advantageous.

Only quote for dates you can genuinely confirm. Once a booking is confirmed, block those dates on any other channels straight away to avoid a double-booking. If you can’t take a particular request, there’s no obligation to quote – you have the option to decline a quote.

We require our partners to meet specific safety and quality standards and hold current certifications. Regular property updates and adherence to our terms help maintain quality.

You will allocate a support team member who be will available to assist with any questions about the booking process once the booking is confirmed. We are a small team dedicated to providing fast and efficient service, so due to the number of queries, we will be unable to respond to general enquiries outside of bookings.

If a client wishes to extend their stay, Trade Stays will liaise with them to arrange an extension with you. Please note that any extensions made without our coordination will result in removal from our network, as direct client poaching is not permitted. We value fair collaboration to ensure positive outcomes for all parties involved.

Yes. Create your host account first. That’s the part only you can do, since it’s where you accept our Host Terms & Conditions and where the listings will sit. Then email us at [email protected] and we’ll onboard the portfolio from our end.

Send us a spreadsheet with your property details – address, bedrooms, bathrooms, occupancy, pricing, minimum stay and check-in times — plus your photos, in a folder per property so we can match them to the right listing. Reply to that email and we’ll send you our template so the columns line up with the platform; it saves a round of back-and-forth.

We’ll load everything into your account and let you know when it’s ready. You then review each listing, confirm the photos and details are right, and submit them for approval – so nothing goes live until you’ve checked it.
