In a typical year, the average Epping Forest listing brings in £4,090 in August, its best month, and £2,160 in January, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £5,980+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Epping Forest Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Epping Forest Airbnb took in £27,357 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,580 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about £2,860 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,530 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,710 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,370 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Epping Forest's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Epping Forest listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £130 adds about £1,320 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £195 a night or more, against a median of £130. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about £2,580 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,090, against £2,160 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Epping Forest listings average 4.82 stars, and 52% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about £4,070 a month, against £2,280 for the average one.
