Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Epping Forest?

Gross bookings per Epping Forest listing averaged £27,357 over the 12 months to September 2026 (England average: £19,455), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

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. July runs within 4% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

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.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,420 or more, roughly £1,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £1,910 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £969 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

August earns about 1.9 times what January does

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.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Epping Forest

None of the 88 active listings in Epping Forest display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Epping Forest.
