We already run Briar House in Sharston, so Beacon Living Group knows exactly what it takes to list a Wythenshawe home on Airbnb, Booking.com and our own site. We run the pricing, guests, cleaning and upkeep while you keep the income. Wythenshawe Hospital and Manchester Airport bring working guests to M22 and M23 all year. This is serviced accommodation and short-let management for owners who want the income without the work.

Summary: Beacon Living Group manages Airbnbs in Wythenshawe, covering M22 and M23 from Northenden to Peel Hall. We look after the listing, the rates, the guests, the turnarounds and the repairs for a fee settled in writing. Briar House in Sharston has run on exactly this basis since August 2026. Its owner keeps the booking income and pays the running costs, as you would. A fixed monthly rent is also available on selected properties.
Every job below is one we already do at Briar House, a few streets from where your property may be.
Briar House is live on Airbnb, Booking.com and beaconlivinggroup.com. Yours would be too. Guests who book direct pay much lower platform fees, which keeps more in your pocket.
Airport shift patterns and hospital rotations move M22 demand week by week. We revisit the rates every day to catch the busy spells and fill the quiet ones.
Guests are ID checked before they get the entry code. We handle the guest messages, so an aircrew member landing at midnight is never ringing you.
Our cleaners turn the house round between airport crews and hospital staff with fresh bedding every time. Each clean ends with a walk-round of the property.
Repairs in Benchill or Baguley are booked by us with trusted local trades. The cost counts as a running cost, so you get the invoice and the explanation.
We kitted out Briar House and can do the same for you. The furniture is bought and set up by us, paid for by you and owned by you.
Beacon Living Group runs Briar House, a serviced-accommodation house on Briar Crescent in Sharston, Wythenshawe M22. We have managed it end to end for its owner, Antony, on a management agreement since August 2026. That makes it direct proof of this service in your own postcode. It is also the standard your property would be run to.
The team that would run your property runs this one, from the listings and pricing to the guests, the cleaning and the upkeep. Beacon is Manchester-based and founder-run, so the person who answers your call is the person who makes the decisions.
Beacon Living Group Ltd was incorporated in March 2026. We are a young company, so we would rather you judged us on what you can check than on years in business:
Put the same test to every operator you speak to. Ask for the address of a property they run near you, then ask to speak to its owner.
Antony owns Briar House and Beacon manages it for him. His experience is of the exact service on this page. Here it is in his own words.
Beacon has paid me on time every single month and I’ve never had to chase a thing.
Not sure yet? Ask for a reference call with Antony and hear how we run a property from the owner, not from us.
Wythenshawe has unusually steady demand. A large hospital, an international airport and a town centre being rebuilt all sit within M22 and M23.
On management your income is the booking income, so that mix is valuable. If hospital rotations dip, airport or regeneration work usually picks up.
Pictured: the Briar House driveway in Sharston, which takes four vans. Parking matters to contractor crews and is one of the things we weigh in an appraisal.
Briar House hosts vetted working guests on short and medium stays, not party bookings.
Early and late shifts make M22 a far easier base than central Manchester, minutes from the terminals.
Consultants, registrars, nurses and locums who need weeks or months, not a hotel room. Stays near the hospital.
Airport, hospital and Civic work brings specialist trades and crews on multi-month jobs.
Employers and accommodation bookers block-book M22 houses for teams and visiting staff.
House-hunters basing themselves in Wythenshawe or Northenden before committing to a twelve-month tenancy elsewhere.
Households displaced by repairs or a delayed move fill the gaps between shorter bookings.
Woodhouse Park, Moss Nook and Peel Hall sit beside Manchester Airport, minutes from the terminals.
Airport work runs on shifts all year, which suits short stays far better than a nine-to-five tenancy. The guest side of the same patch is on our Manchester Airport serviced accommodation page.
We price our fee the way we priced Briar House, after a strategic assessment of the actual property. It is written into the agreement and you see it before you sign.
The owner meets the running costs from the bookings. For a three- or four-bedroom house in M22 or M23, the guide is:
A two-bed flat in Northenden will usually sit below that guide and a big family house in Baguley may sit above it. Run your own numbers with our calculator.
If the property underperforms for four months, you can leave on one month's notice. That right is in the agreement from day one.
Tell us the address. We already know the M22 streets, so we look at the layout, the parking and the guests it would suit.
Your fee, the running costs and the exit terms are confirmed in writing before you sign. Take it to your own solicitor first if you wish.
Beacon buys and sets up the furniture, which you pay for and own. The property is photographed and the listings go live.
We run the guests, the cleaning and the upkeep, just as we do at Briar House. Your income is paid monthly.
An honest comparison. A long let gives steadier income. Management gives you more control and the upside of busy airport and hospital months, with more movement month to month.
| What changes | Long let through an agent | Beacon management |
|---|---|---|
| Income | One tenant's monthly rent | Nightly income that moves with demand |
| Fees | Typically 10% to 15% of the rent | An agreed fee on the booking income |
| Empty periods | Void weeks between tenants | Priced daily to fill gaps, though a quiet month still pays less |
| Condition | Inspected at the end of a tenancy | Cleaned and inspected after every stay |
| Who deals with guests | You or the agent | Beacon |
| Leaving | Notice and possession rules set by tenancy law | One month's notice after four months of underperformance |
| Renters' Rights Act | The full assured-tenancy regime | Short stays generally sit outside it |

The law and the council both have a say in how a property is let. Here is where short stays sit.
The Act's private-renting reforms took effect on 1 May 2026. They abolished fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancies and Section 21 no-fault eviction for residential landlords in England.
Short stays by guests who have a home elsewhere are generally not assured tenancies. That is one reason Wythenshawe owners are looking again at serviced accommodation instead of a long let. Longer mid-term stays need more care, so take advice on your own position.
Check your Wythenshawe address with Manchester City Council's licensing team before the property is listed.
Letting a whole home to guests all year can also raise planning questions. Tell us anything you already know on the appraisal form and we will factor it in before any agreement is signed.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Check your own position with a solicitor or accountant before you sign anything.
Guaranteed rent is also available on selected properties in Wythenshawe.
Briar House itself runs on management, not guaranteed rent. Read the Manchester guaranteed rent guide to see whether a fixed figure suits you better. Read how much guaranteed rent pays in Manchester before you decide.
Beacon Living Group covers every neighbourhood in Wythenshawe and the surrounding M22 and M23 postcodes, from Northenden and Northern Moor down to Woodhouse Park, Peel Hall and Moss Nook by the airport.

The fee is agreed after a strategic assessment of your Wythenshawe property and confirmed in writing before you sign, just as it was for Briar House. You pay the running costs from the bookings. As a guide for a three- or four-bedroom house in M22, bills come to about £500 a month, cleaning about £60 a clean, consumables £30 to £50 a month and booking-platform fees about 18.8%, much lower on direct bookings. Run your own numbers.
Yes. We take the property on and relaunch it under the Beacon Living Group brand, so it carries our reviews and reputation rather than starting again. It also reaches the guests we already serve, including the contractor teams we work with. You keep the income and we run it from the day it switches over.
Everything we do at Briar House. The listing goes on Airbnb, Booking.com and our own site and we manage the nightly pricing daily. We vet guests, answer their messages and set up self check-in. Our cleaners turn the house round with fresh linen after every stay. Repairs are arranged for you. Before launch we buy and set up the furniture, which you pay for and own.
Vetted working guests on short and medium stays. In M22 and M23 that means Manchester Airport staff and aircrew, NHS staff at Wythenshawe Hospital, contractors and project teams, companies booking for crews, relocating professionals and people between homes. Every guest is ID verified and stays under our house rules.
Every guest is ID verified and books under our house rules. Direct guests authorise a £100 security hold near check-in. Channel bookings follow their platform's terms. Airbnb stays are covered by Airbnb's damage protection, subject to Airbnb's terms. The property is cleaned and inspected after every stay, so damage is found quickly. We tell you what happened, arrange the repair and pursue the claim through the hold or the platform.
Usually yes. Many buy-to-let and residential mortgages need the lender's written consent before a property is used for short stays. A leasehold flat may also need the freeholder's consent. Tell your buildings insurer too, because a standard landlord policy may not cover paying guests. This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Briar House is live on both and on Beacon's own website. Your property would be too. Airport and contractor guests often use Booking.com while families favour Airbnb. Direct bookings on our own site carry much lower platform fees.
Yes. If the property underperforms for four months, you can leave on one month's notice. The exit terms are written into the agreement and confirmed before you sign. Nobody is locked in.
Management suits an owner who wants to keep the booking income and the upside of strong months, accepting that it moves with demand. Briar House runs this way. Guaranteed rent suits an owner who wants a fixed figure. Beacon takes the property on a three- to five-year corporate commercial lease and pays a fixed monthly rent, with no fees on that route. Beacon carries the voids, bills, council tax and maintenance. The rent is typically set below an agent's advertised rent. It is also available on selected properties.
Yes, we can look at them together. Each property is assessed on its own merits and gets its own written terms. Some homes suit short stays better than others. We will tell you which ones and why. See our page for portfolio landlords in Manchester.
Yes. Beacon Living Group covers the whole of Wythenshawe, including Northenden, Northern Moor, Baguley, Brooklands, Sharston, Benchill, Newall Green, Crossacres, Woodhouse Park, Peel Hall and Moss Nook by the airport. If your property sits in M22, M23 or a neighbouring postcode, get in touch and we will confirm whether it suits short stays.
