How to cite these figures
Everything on this page is free to reference in articles, research and reports with credit and a link, for example: “61% of central Bristol's next 30 nights are already booked (Upgraded PM, August 2026).” The figures come from Upgraded Intelligence, our in house data engine, which continuously tracks live short let listings and records their real night by night availability and pricing.
- Directly observed. Availability and prices come straight from live listings, not from surveys or a purchased dataset.
- Dated, always. Market figures move, so every number here carries the date it was taken and is never silently revised.
- Honest about samples. Whole market percentages and professional only rates are labelled as what they are, and thin samples are excluded rather than guessed.
