What is StayScout?

StayScout is a UK short-term rental market analytics platform designed to make property research clearer and easier. It helps investors, hosts and researchers compare local markets using the metrics that matter most.

What areas can I search?

You can explore short-term rental markets across the UK by district and, where reliable data is available, zoom in to individual wards for a more local view.

What data can I see on StayScout?

StayScout brings together key investment metrics including estimated revenue, purchase prices, occupancy, nightly rates, gross and net yields, affordability, listing numbers and data confidence. You can also compare different property sizes within a market.

Why do some locations show district data instead of ward data?

Some wards do not have enough reliable short-term rental data to produce a meaningful local result. In those cases, StayScout shows the wider district-level market instead.

What does data confidence mean?

Data confidence is there to help you understand how much underlying market information supports the figures shown for an area. It gives additional context when comparing locations with different levels of short-term rental activity.

Are estimated revenue and yields guaranteed?

No. StayScout is a research and analytics tool. Estimated revenue, yields and other performance figures are indicators based on market data and should not be treated as guaranteed future returns or financial advice.

Can I download StayScout market reports?

Yes. Our Reports section hosts downloadable research covering the UK short-term rental market, while Insights contains shorter articles, market commentary and practical data guides.

Who is StayScout built for?

StayScout is designed for property investors, existing short-term rental hosts, analysts and researchers who want a clearer view of local UK market performance.
