Fee FAQs
Your pricing questions, answered.
What are the typical Airbnb management fees in the UK?
UK Airbnb management fees usually range from 12% to 25% of booking revenue. At 53 Degrees Property our fees start at 14% + VAT on a 12-month plan, 18% on 6 months, and 22% on our flexible rolling contract. There's a minimum monthly management charge of £150 to cover fixed costs if the property is unavailable.
Is there a setup or onboarding fee?
Yes. The onboarding fee covers professional photography, staging, key safes, health & safety assessments, fire escape plans, in-house info-points and a virtual guest guide. It starts at £570 + VAT for a 1-bed on the flexible plan, or £427.50 + VAT on a 12-month plan (25% off). If you already have some of these in place we'll reduce the fee accordingly.
Are your fees inclusive of VAT?
No. All prices shown exclude VAT. VAT is added at the prevailing UK rate.
Do you charge extra for cleaning or guest services?
Cleaning is charged to the guest as part of their booking, not to you. Our management fee covers listing, pricing, guest communication, payouts and reporting. The only items billed separately are optional upgrades (smart sensors, CCTV, security service), non-standard call-outs and a 5% platform fee on direct bookings.
Are there discounts for multiple properties or luxury homes?
Yes. We discount the management fee further when you have several properties with us, and we offer enhanced rates for luxury and high nightly-rate homes. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
