A Data-Led Guide for Landlords + Free Rental Estimates
If you’re a landlord in Manchester, you’ve probably wondered whether switching to Airbnb could actually boost your rental income. Maybe you’ve heard success stories from other property owners, or perhaps you’re just curious about the numbers behind all the hype.
The truth is, Manchester has become one of the UK’s hottest markets for short-term rentals. Between the buzzing nightlife, constant stream of business travelers, packed event calendar, and thriving student scene, there’s never been more demand for quality short-stay accommodation.
But let’s cut through the speculation and look at the real numbers. How much can your Manchester property actually earn on Airbnb?
Based on current data from platforms like Airbtics and insights from our own portfolio of 50+ managed properties across Greater Manchester, here’s what landlords are seeing:
Manchester City Centre properties are leading the pack with nightly rates of £140–£160 and occupancy rates of 75–85%, translating to monthly income for the owner of £3,000–£4,500.
Northern Quarter and Ancoats are performing exceptionally well, with nightly rates of £130–£150 and impressive occupancy rates of 80–90%, generating £3,200–£4,500 monthly.
Salford Quays properties typically achieve £110–£130 per night with 65–80% occupancy, resulting in monthly revenues of £2,400–£3,500.
Chorlton and Didsbury see nightly rates of £100–£120 with 60–75% occupancy, producing monthly earnings of £2,100–£3,100.
Fallowfield and Withington properties earn £95–£115 per night with 55–70% occupancy rates, generating £1,900–£2,800 monthly.
These aren’t pie-in-the-sky projections – they’re gross estimates based on real properties that are actively earning these amounts.
Of course, your actual Airbnb Income in Manchester will depend on several factors we’ll cover below.
It’s not just about being “in Manchester” – the specific neighborhood and even the street can dramatically impact your short-let earnings manchester. Properties within walking distance of tram stops, the city center, or popular areas like the Northern Quarter consistently outperform those requiring lengthy commutes.

Here’s what we’ve learned from managing dozens of Manchester properties:
1-bed flats work brilliantly for couples and solo business traveler’s, but you’re limiting your market size and are more in competition.
2-3 bedroom properties hit the sweet spot – they attract families, small groups, and longer business stays while maintaining strong occupancy.
4+ bedroom houses can be goldmines, especially for contractor teams and groups visiting for events, though they require more work to fill consistently.
We’ve seen identical properties in the same building perform completely differently based purely on how they’re presented.
Professional photos, thoughtful interior design, and modern amenities like superfast WiFi aren’t just nice-to-haves – they’re essential for maximising your earnings.
