The short answer

Birmingham Airbnb Management in Brief

In Birmingham, a manager mostly buys back the time hosting takes.

In the 12 months to September 2026, Birmingham's largest Airbnb and short-let management company was Stay Accommodations, with 46 of the city's 1,370 active Airbnb listings; Your Perfect Stay was next with 40. In all, 16 companies ran five or more Birmingham listings.

"Similar owner-run homes" are homes whose owner runs only that one Birmingham listing, with no co-host, the same bedrooms and room type, listed all year and open on 240+ nights, booked on 60+ of them, with 5+ reviews. Revenue is what each home earned on Airbnb, estimated from booked nights and rates; stays sold on other sites or direct aren't counted.

Revenue, occupancy and nightly rates across the whole market are in the Birmingham Airbnb market report .

The ranking

Birmingham Airbnb Management Companies, Ranked

Companies are ranked by the active Birmingham listings they run, as host or as co-host on an owner's account. "Lead vs similar" shows how much more a company's homes earned than owner-run Birmingham homes with the same number of bedrooms and room type, where they earned more, so a company of big houses isn't flattered by their size.

Fees

What an Airbnb Manager Costs in Birmingham

Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 180 companies AirROI checked in 11 major Airbnb markets in September 2026, 17 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 17%, and 102 quote only on request. Expect to ask each Birmingham company you shortlist for a quote.

Get the rate in writing along with what it's charged on: some companies take their share of the nightly rate only, others of everything the guest pays, cleaning fee included. With the company-run median Birmingham cleaning fee of £73, a 20% rate that also applies to cleaning takes another £15 from every stay. Ask too what's billed on top (linen, repairs, a setup fee) and how much notice ends the contract.

At the median starting rate, rounded to 15%, a manager has to lift revenue by 18% to leave an owner where they started, and 21% of company-run Birmingham homes earned at least that much more than the owner-run median for their size.

The numbers

Is an Airbnb Manager Worth It in Birmingham?

At the median, company-run Birmingham listings earned 5% more than owner-run ones over the 12 months to September 2026, partly because companies run bigger places. What an owner takes home depends on the company: 0 of the 3 Birmingham companies with enough homes to compare out-earn similar owner-run homes.

A company charging a share of revenue pays for itself on revenue alone when it lifts income by more than the share: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift. The table shows how many company-run homes clear each bar:

Company-run homes that earn enough to cover each fee

  • 15% fee needs +18% 21%
  • 20% fee needs +25% 19%
  • 25% fee needs +33% 18%
  • 30% fee needs +43% 15%
  • 35% fee needs +54% 11%

A home "earns it" when its revenue over the 12 months to September 2026 beat the owner-run median for homes of the same room type and bedroom count by at least the lift shown. Homes listed all year only.

How we compared

Read the 20% row. 19% of company-run Birmingham homes earned at least 25% more than the owner-run median for their size, enough to pay that fee and still leave the owner ahead. Ask any manager to show you homes of its own that clear it.

Results vary by company, and the ranking shows the companies whose homes lead similar ones. Managers also choose the homes they take on, so part of any lead reflects the homes, and the comparison matches homes by room type and bedrooms only, not by street or finish. It counts Airbnb bookings only.

Benchmarks

What Birmingham Airbnbs Earn: Benchmarks to Test a Manager's Pitch

A manager's projection is only as good as the homes it is compared with. These are the typical results for Birmingham entire homes listed for all 12 months, by bedroom count, over the 12 months to September 2026, in pounds.

What Birmingham entire homes earned a year, by bedroom count

Booking revenue of entire homes listed all 12 months. A quarter of homes earned less than the bottom-quarter figure and a quarter more than the top-quarter one. The last column is what a home has to earn for a 20% fee to leave its owner the median.

A projection above the top-quarter line for your size of home (£18,900 for a two-bedroom) should come with the comparable homes the company already runs. The fee changes the sum: on a two-bedroom earning the median £9,730, a 20% fee comes to £1,946 a year and leaves its owner £7,784, so to leave you with the median a manager has to bring in £12,160.

Before comparing managers' fees, see what the home itself could earn: the Airbnb estimator gives a revenue range for one Birmingham address from comparable listings.

Market structure

Who Runs Birmingham's Airbnb Market

Hosts with a single listing run 31% of Birmingham's Airbnbs. Accounts with 20 or more listings, companies, individuals and hotels alike, run 13%. These bands count Airbnb accounts, not brands, so a company with several accounts can sit in more than one. The share Airbnb flags as professionally managed rose from 7% to 13% over the year.

Who runs Birmingham's Airbnb listings

  • Hosts with one listing 31% · 428 operators
  • 2–4 listings 34% · 183 operators
  • 5–19 listings 22% · 44 operators
  • 20–99 listings 13% · 6 operators

27% of Birmingham's listings name at least one co-host. Many management companies work that way: the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay on the owner's account, and the company runs it as co-host. The profiles above show how much of each company's portfolio runs on owners' accounts. Airbnb's own "professional host" flag covers 13% of listings; it marks hosts who run several homes, companies or not, so it isn't the same measure as the company share.

FAQ

Birmingham Airbnb Management: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest Airbnb management company in Birmingham?

Stay Accommodations runs 46 active Birmingham Airbnb listings, more than any other company in AirROI's data for the 12 months to September 2026, ahead of Your Perfect Stay (40) and Empire Lettings & Property Management (25).

How many Airbnb management companies operate in Birmingham?

In the 12 months to September 2026, 10 management companies ran 10 or more active Birmingham listings, and 16 ran 5 or more. Many smaller managers work as co-hosts on owners' accounts; they are counted on every listing they co-host.

What share of Birmingham Airbnbs are professionally managed?

Airbnb's own "professional host" flag, which also covers individuals who run several homes, is on 13%, against 7% a year earlier. 27% list at least one co-host.

Do professionally managed Airbnbs earn more in Birmingham?

Some do, and it depends on the company. Results vary with the homes each company takes on, so ask a manager for figures on homes like yours.

Is it worth hiring an Airbnb manager in Birmingham?

It can be, with the right company. 19% of company-run Birmingham homes earned 25% or more above the owner-run median for their size, enough to cover a 20% fee. A manager also buys back the time hosting takes: guest messages, cleaning, pricing and upkeep.

How much do Airbnb management companies charge in Birmingham?

Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 180 companies AirROI checked in 11 major Airbnb markets in September 2026, 17 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 17%, and 102 quote only on request. So ask each Birmingham company for its rate in writing, and whether it's a share of nightly revenue only or of cleaning fees too. What a fee has to earn is fixed: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift in revenue to leave you where you started, and a 30% fee needs 43%.

How much does a 2-bedroom Airbnb make in Birmingham?

The median 2-bedroom entire home in Birmingham earned £9,730 in the 12 months to September 2026, and the top quarter earned £18,900 or more, at a median 34% occupancy.

Which Birmingham Airbnb management companies have the best guest ratings?

Among Birmingham management companies with at least 10 rated listings and 100 reviews, Your Perfect Stay (4.84), Exclusive Short Stays (4.80) and Cadbury Homes SA (4.51) had the highest average guest ratings in the 12 months to September 2026.

What is an Airbnb co-host, and how common are they in Birmingham?

A co-host helps run a listing that stays on the owner's Airbnb account, from messaging guests to pricing and cleaning, so the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay with the owner if the manager changes. A listing on a company's own account belongs to the company, and its reviews usually don't move with the home. 27% of Birmingham's active listings name at least one co-host, and several of the companies above run most of their homes that way.

How are these Birmingham management companies ranked?

By the number of active Birmingham Airbnb listings each company runs, as host or co-host, in the 12 months to September 2026. Individual hosts who don't trade as a business are not named.

Method

How This Ranking Works

The ranking counts active Airbnb listings in Birmingham over the 12 months to September 2026, on the same definition as AirROI's Birmingham market report, so the totals match. A listing counts toward its host account and toward every co-host named on it, because many companies run homes on the owner's own account. A company that runs several Airbnb accounts under one brand appears once, with the accounts combined.

The full method: classification, comparisons and fees

Accounts are classified from their names, and the Birmingham accounts with the most listings were checked by hand. Only property-management businesses are ranked, under the name they trade as; individual hosts who don't trade as a business count in every market figure but are never named, and neither are accounts with a generic name, such as "Property" or "Concierge", that can't be tied to a company. Hotels and serviced-apartment operators that list their own rooms are left out, and so are companies that mostly take stays of a month or more, because they compete with rentals rather than holiday lets.

"Lead vs similar" compares each of a company's homes with the median owner-run Birmingham home of the same bedroom count and room type, and reports the median of those comparisons. The figure is shown where a company's homes earn more than similar ones. A lower figure isn't shown: on Airbnb data alone it mostly reflects listings that are new or re-listed and still building reviews, or homes that differ in ways a bedroom count misses, rather than the management. Only homes listed for the whole 12 months and open to bookings on at least 240 nights, booked on 60 or more, with 5 or more reviews count, on both sides, so a company that added homes mid-year isn't marked down for their short first year, a listing that sits idle or is too new to have reviews doesn't stand for its company, and an owner who rents out their own home a few weekends a year doesn't set the benchmark. Companies with fewer than five such homes show a dash, and those with fewer than ten show "few": too few to compare fairly, so their figures are never quoted. The ranking by revenue needs at least 15. The shortlist by home size needs five homes of a size and marks a figure on fewer than ten as a small sample. The ± bands treat homes as independent; homes run by one company resemble each other, so the true uncertainty is somewhat wider. The profiles split revenue into revenue per booked night and nights booked, on the same homes, each against the owner-run median for that measure. A home's revenue is the one times the other, but the three medians don't multiply: among owner-run homes, the ones that charge more tend to book fewer nights, so the median rate times the median nights isn't the median revenue. A company's rating averages its listings' overall Airbnb ratings, weighted by their reviews. Revenue is gross Airbnb booking revenue, estimated from booked nights and rates, before any management fee. Stays a company or owner sells on other sites or direct aren't counted, so a company that sells much of its calendar elsewhere can look weaker here than it is; that applies to owner-run homes too. A home counts toward the company named on it now, so a home that changed manager during the year brings months run by its previous one.

The fee figures pool the rates management companies publish on their own websites, checked by hand in September 2026 in the 11 markets AirROI researched. No company's rate is shown on its own: most quote each home on request, so the page gives the spread of the published rates instead.

Growth counts the listings a company hosts on its own Airbnb accounts now against 12 months earlier. Companies that mostly co-host on owners' accounts show no growth figure, because Airbnb's co-host records from a year ago are incomplete, and accounts with no listings a year ago are marked new rather than ranked for growth.

The page is rebuilt each quarter from the latest listing data. A company that thinks its figures are wrong can write to AirROI, and corrections are checked against the listing data.
