Why More Manchester Landlords Are Choosing Pass the Keys for Short-Term Let Management

Manchester’s property market is booming—with tourism, business travel, and major events (like football, music, and conferences) bringing in a steady stream of visitors. For landlords and property owners, this opens a huge opportunity in the short-let space. But managing it all yourself? That’s where many are turning to professional support.

If you’re a property owner in Manchester, here’s why Pass the Keys is becoming the go-to solution for short-term rental management.

1. Short-Term Letting in Manchester: A Growing Opportunity

Manchester is one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities for Airbnb and short-stay bookings. With vibrant neighbourhoods like Ancoats, Spinningfields, and the Northern Quarter attracting travellers year-round, demand for quality, flexible accommodation is high.

For landlords, this means:

Higher yields than traditional long-term letting
Greater flexibility with property usage
The chance to tap into a growing, professional short-let market

But high demand brings high expectations. That’s where many landlords struggle to keep up.

2. The Challenges of Managing a Short-Let Property

Going it alone might seem tempting—until you’re knee-deep in late-night guest messages, cleaning rotas, and booking calendar chaos.

Common short-let headaches:

Guest communication 24/7
Cleaning and linen turnover
Pricing management
Listing visibility on platforms like Airbnb & Booking.com
Regulatory compliance (especially in city centres)

That’s why many Manchester landlords are turning to Pass the Keys for expert, hands-off support.

5. Is Short-Letting Right for Your Property?

If you own a flat, house, or holiday home in Manchester that sits empty—even for just part of the year—it could be earning you significantly more as a short-let. Even if you're a landlord already renting long-term, it might be worth comparing the numbers.

Properties near:

City centre
Universities
Train stations
Event venues (AO Arena, Etihad, Old Trafford)

…are especially well-suited to short-term lets.

6. Final Thoughts: Let Your Property Work Harder

Manchester isn’t just growing—it’s thriving. And as more travellers look for local, flexible stays over traditional hotels, the need for well-managed short-term rentals is only increasing.
