How much money your London apartment can make as an Airbnb in 2025?
A simple answer to that is a well-performing Airbnb should generate at least 30 or 40 percent more compared to traditional long-term lets. However, what is the difference? The main difference is that profitability and revenue isn't guaranteed on Airbnb if you compare it to long-term lets, where usually you would sign an annual contract with your tenant. Profitability will depend on many factors, things like location, seasonality, size, amenities, things like parking, to name a few. In our experience in Stay in London, a well-performing Airbnb should have an occupancy which is between 80-85 percent and 95 percent annually. Certain properties, apartments, or houses usually tend to be centrally located within five minutes walk from an underground station or a bus line or a train station. Apartments are usually in good condition. They have things like dishwasher, underground parkings, storage space, very good quality beds.
Guests also pay attention to things like smart TV, fast broadband, other amenities. So the more amenities you have, the more likely you are to stand out and generate more income. So how can you calculate an average manual income? Currently, in the last 12 months, an average daily rate in London was £189 per night. So that is all of the apartments, from studios up to large houses, on average generate £189 per night. However, each case is individual. If you've got a one-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom apartment, that price will depend on things like location and seasonality. So January, February, for example, are usually the slow ones. And then in the summer, your average daily rate could actually be double. I strongly recommend signing up for AirDNA, which is a website that aggregates all of the data across the globe from various Airbnbs, where you can actually see, on average, in your area, the type of apartment or house that you have, roughly what ADR, or average daily rate, you can expect for your Airbnb. It will give you a rough idea. If you multiply it by how many nights a month you want to list it or rent it, it will give you a rough idea of how much you can make with your property.
