How much can you earn?

In central London: £200-£400 per month. In city centres (Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds): £80-£200. In smaller towns and suburbs: £30-£80. In rural areas: £10-£30. Location is the dominant factor — proximity to train stations, stadiums, hospitals and city centres drives demand.

Platforms

JustPark and YourParkingSpace are the main UK platforms. You list your space with photos, set your price (or accept the suggested rate) and manage bookings via the app. Payout is via bank transfer. Platforms typically take 15-30% of earnings.

Tax

Rental income above £1,000 per year needs to be declared to HMRC. It is taxed as income. Check whether this interacts with any benefits you receive.

Practical considerations

Consider whether renters will have consistent access, whether your insurance covers the rental (home insurance may need notification), and whether you need permission from a mortgage lender or landlord.
