“I was a bit sceptical at first. I'd had the same tenant for years and didn't want the hassle of dealing with guests. But the flat was sitting empty half the week anyway. Truestays sorted the listing, the cleaning, all of it. I still block the dates when I need to stay there. The income's been better than the rent was, though it does fluctuate with the seasons. Mostly I just don't have to think about it.”

Straight answers

The four most common concerns

Straight answers to the questions you are actually asking. No hedging.

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. Our agreement runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Block any dates you want the property back, no questions asked. No lock-in, no penalties, no eviction process.

What if a guest damages my property?

Every guest is ID-verified before they book. We cover you up to £50,000 directly, and Airbnb's Aircover adds up to $3 million on top. In 35,000+ stays we've never had an uninsured claim.

What does it actually cost me?

From 12% + VAT, charged only on nights that book, so if your property sits empty, you pay nothing. A one-off £150 onboarding fee covers setup. Cleaning is paid by the guest, not you.

Is short-letting even allowed on my property?

Manchester has no licensing requirement and no night cap. We check your lease, mortgage and insurance for restrictions, arrange any safety certificates, and handle compliance end to end, so you don't have to worry.

No long lock-in. Cancel with 30 days' notice. Transparent fees, nothing hidden.

The case for short-lets

Why Manchester short-lets outperform long-lets

No licensing scheme, no annual night cap, and no single point of failure. Demand comes from football, arena events, two universities and corporate travel independently of each other. When one is quiet, the others are not. Since 1 May 2026, Section 21 is gone and every AST is a periodic tenancy you cannot simply end. Short-letting sits outside that framework entirely.

Events a year at the AO Arena

Two Premier League clubs

Man City and Man United fixtures pull visiting fans from across the UK and abroad through the whole August to May season. Matchday weekends typically run 2 to 3x standard nightly rates, and away supporters often stay three or four nights rather than just the match night, filling midweek slots that leisure travellers wouldn't book.

AO Arena

One of Europe's busiest venues, regularly selling out 21,000 seats for global artists. Concert nights are the highest-earning nights of the month for city centre short-lets, with rates jumping 80 to 120% above baseline. A single major tour can fill a fortnight of surrounding dates as fans travel in from across the North West.

Two major universities

Manchester and Manchester Met enrol over 80,000 students between them. Visiting families, academics, conference delegates and open days generate steady midweek demand no leisure season covers. Graduation weeks in July and December are among our most profitable periods, with parents booking 3 to 5 night stays at premium rates.

MediaCityUK and corporate travel

The BBC, ITV and dozens of production companies are based at Salford Quays. Corporate travellers book apartments over hotels, often for weeks at a time, filling gaps between leisure bookings. Production crews on location can occupy multiple units simultaneously for 2 to 6 week stretches.

The Christmas Markets

The UK's biggest, drawing millions into the city centre from late November through December. These are routinely the highest-revenue months in our Manchester portfolio, running 15 to 25% above the annual average. Weekend rates during market season regularly double, and weeknight occupancy stays above 85% when it would normally dip.

A local team who can actually be at your door

One dedicated point of contact who knows your flat, your boiler, your lockbox code and your neighbourhood. When a guest locks themselves out at 9pm or the boiler stops on a Saturday, our local contractors can be there the same day.

Your property is inspected after every stay by cleaners and maintenance teams we've worked with for years.
