The case for short-lets
Why Manchester outperforms
for short-lets & Airbnbs
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Straight answers
The four most common concerns, answered.
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. If a claim is needed, we'll handle the Aircover claim for you with the evidence collected.
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 allowed in my flat?
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.
