Why Liverpool?
Liverpool punches well above its weight as a short-let market. It’s not just the Beatles trail and two Premier League grounds — it’s a city that generates demand from a genuinely diverse mix of guests.
Weekend tourists filling the Cavern Quarter. Corporate travellers working at the Knowledge Quarter. Families visiting for Anfield or Goodison. Music fans descending on M&S Bank Arena. Students attending one of the city’s two universities.
That mix means Liverpool short-lets rarely depend on a single season – and properties in the right locations run close to year-round occupancy.
What we manage
We are pleased to be able to offer landlords & homeowners of all types of properties our short-let & Airbnb management service.
Liverpool’s terraced and semi-detached houses are in strong demand from families, relocating professionals, and longer-stay corporate guests. High occupancy across the city’s residential suburbs.
City centre apartments perform exceptionally well for weekend tourists, music visitors, and business travellers. The waterfront and Baltic Triangle locations consistently achieve the highest nightly rates.
Georgian Quarter townhouses, converted dock warehouses, and waterfront penthouses – Liverpool has some of the most distinctive short-let stock in the UK. We maximise what makes each property special.
Full portfolio management for developers and multi-unit investors across Liverpool’s regeneration zones. Consolidated reporting, tiered pricing, and a single point of contact.

From 12% + VAT of booking revenue — competitive with or lower than the main Liverpool operators. Fees reduce as your portfolio grows. We earn only when you earn, and you’re paid after every booking rather than waiting for a monthly transfer.
It depends heavily on location, size, presentation, and management quality. Based on our Liverpool portfolio: well-located 1-bed apartments typically earn £1,300–£2,400/month at 65–80% occupancy; 2-beds £2,000–£3,500/month; and 3-bed houses £2,400–£5,200/month. Liverpool’s median annual short-let revenue is around £22,000 at 55% occupancy — but professionally managed properties consistently outperform the market average.
Yes. Unlike London, Liverpool has no 90-day annual cap and no city-wide short-let register. Planning permission may be required where short-letting amounts to a material change of use, assessed case-by-case. Truestays advises on and manages all compliance as part of onboarding.
A typical 1-bed Liverpool apartment on an AST earns £830–£1,040/month. The same property, professionally managed as a short-let, typically earns £1,300–£2,400/month – 40–80% more. Critically, that income comes without rent arrears risk, Section 21 uncertainty, or the mounting compliance burden now facing traditional landlords.
Yes.We guide you through compliance, insurance, setup and onboarding, typically getting you live within 7 days.
We offer tiered pricing for portfolio landlords – the more properties you onboard, the lower your fee. Scalable systems, consolidated reporting, and a multi-property owner dashboard designed for portfolio owners.
We manage properties across Liverpool city centre, the Waterfront, Albert Dock, Baltic Triangle, Ropewalks, Georgian Quarter, Knowledge Quarter, Aigburth, Sefton Park, Allerton, Woolton, and across Merseyside more broadly. Contact us if you’re not sure whether your property falls within our area.
An Airbnb management company handles everything from guest messaging and pricing to cleaning, reviews, and calendar management. It offers a hands-free way to maximise your rental income.
Yes. You retain full control over your calendar. Block dates for personal use whenever you need to – we work around your requirements.
Truestays charges from 12% + VAT with tiered discounts for portfolio owners — a feature most Liverpool operators don’t offer. We also operate a direct booking engine that generates over 40% of bookings, meaningfully reducing what you lose to OTA commission. We operate in partnership with Houst for technology and guest care infrastructure.
It’s simple. Just request a free income estimate to check you’re happy with your property’s potential and then we’ll walk you through the process and get your short-let property earning quickly.
