Airbnb Management
ABOUT AIRBNB MANAGEMENT
Spinningfields is where Manchester does business: glass offices, law firms, courts, restaurants and the people who travel in to work with them. Visiting professionals want a base within walking distance of their meetings, and a furnished apartment suits a project week better than a hotel. Key Let Management manages Spinningfields flats for landlords who want that weekday demand without the weekday admin.
Business guests value certainty, so we focus on fast replies, clear arrival details, strong Wi-Fi and a tidy workspace. Contractors and project teams often book several weeks at a stretch, which suits a calendar planned around longer stays. Spinningfields sits in M3, the heart of our busiest Manchester territory.
REALISTIC INCOME FIGURES, NOT MARKETING CLAIMS
These estimates are based on managed property performance in active locations. We provide a bespoke projection for your specific property before we begin.
Project teams plan their city-centre stays well in advance, so the best rates go to listings that are live early. Speak to us this month and your apartment can be on the shortlist when the next wave of bookings begins.

All fees are calculated as a percentage of gross rental income and are deducted from your monthly payout. There are no setup fees no photography charges and no hidden extras. VAT is applicable on the management fee. The 12-month agreement delivers the lowest fee and the strongest annual income position. Rolling monthly is available for landlords who need flexibility at a higher fee to reflect the reduced planning horizon.

Spinningfields is Manchester's principal business district, a landscaped area of offices, restaurants and public squares between Deansgate and the River Irwell, home to professional firms and the Civil Justice Centre. Hardman Square and the surrounding streets host food and drink venues that fill after work, and the district sits beside Deansgate, Castlefield and St Peter's Square. Deansgate station and Metrolink stops are a short walk away, linking visitors with rail services and the wider city region. Demand centres on weekday professional stays, supported by leisure guests at weekends.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of guests book in Spinningfields?
Mostly professionals: consultants, lawyers, contractors and corporate visitors who work nearby, often booking from Monday to Thursday. Weekend leisure guests fill many of the remaining nights, so we balance the calendar between the two.
Do you handle corporate invoicing?
Corporate and agency guests often ask for simple invoicing on longer stays, and we can discuss arrangements case by case. We make sure listing details, check-in information and booking confirmations are clear enough for company travel teams.
What if my apartment is in a managed building with strict rules?
We read the building's rules first and plan arrivals, keys, deliveries and noise around them. A well-briefed guest and a courteous approach to the building team prevent most of the problems landlords worry about.
How do you attract stays of several weeks?
We set sensible minimum nights, show the kitchen, workspace and laundry facilities clearly, and offer pricing that rewards longer bookings. Professional guests want reliability above all, so fast responses and consistent presentation do much of the work.
Is Spinningfields in your most active area?
Yes. M3 is one of the Manchester postcodes where we run the most properties, so we understand its demand cycles and competing listings. Individual buildings vary, so we still review each address before recommending a plan.
