Why Manchester
A short-let city without London's cap.
Manchester has no limit on the number of nights you can let a whole home for, unlike London's 90-night rule. That makes it one of the UK's strongest cities for short lets.
In London, entire-home short lets are capped at 90 nights a year without planning permission. Manchester has no equivalent cap. You still need the right consents (mortgage lender, freeholder if it's leasehold, insurance, fire safety), and we check all of these before your property goes live.
Year-round visitors
Business travel, two world-famous football clubs, gigs, conferences and the universities fill calendars outside the summer peak.
A growing city centre
Ancoats, Salford Quays, Deansgate and MediaCity keep drawing professionals who want flexible stays.
We live here
Our team works across Greater Manchester every day. We know which streets let well, and which don't.
Cleaning in-house
Glowhaus Cleaning already turns over Airbnbs across the city. Your turnovers aren't left to a stranger.
How Airbnb management works
We handle the work. You keep the income.
Every step is ours until the money reaches you. You can see every booking and every cost, and you can block out dates for yourself whenever you like.

What happens when you book a call.
A call commits you to a conversation, nothing more.
- 01
A short intro call
15–20 minutes on your property or your plans. No pressure and nothing to sign.
- 02
Your numbers, in writing
We send a clear appraisal: what the property could earn, what it would cost to run, and our fee.
- 03
Check us out properly
Ask for references, read the agreement with your own adviser, take your time.
- 04
We get to work
Only once you're happy. Then you get one point of contact and regular updates.
How much do you charge?
It depends on the property and the service, so we don't publish a one-size price. After your call you get a written quote with our fee and everything it covers. Nothing is charged until you've signed.
Is there really no limit on Airbnb nights in Manchester?
Correct: the 90-night cap only applies in London. Manchester has no nightly limit for whole-home short lets.
You do still need permission from your mortgage lender (and freeholder if it's leasehold), the right insurance and proper fire safety. In some cases planning permission is needed too, and we check this during your property review.
What if the Airbnb doesn't earn what you said?
We give you a range based on comparable listings near you, not a promise. If short let isn't working, we can move you to a long let or a social housing lease without changing company.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. Block out dates whenever you like. We just ask for notice so we don't turn guests away.
Am I tied in?
Our management agreements have a clear notice period, written into the agreement you read before signing. No long lock-ins.
Which areas do you cover?
Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport and the rest of Greater Manchester. For deal sourcing we can look further afield if your strategy needs it.
