What This Feature Does
The Valuation Tool provides accurate annual revenue projections for short-term rental properties. Use it to validate investment opportunities, pitch to investors, quote clients, or analyse market potential with data-driven confidence.
Getting Started
Creating a Valuation
Enter a postcode - If the exact postcode isn't found, try removing the last letter or verify it on Google
Add property details - Bedrooms, bathrooms, and guest capacity
Click Search to generate your valuation
Key Metrics Explained
Your results show projected revenue, occupancy rate, and ADR (Average Daily Rate). These are calculated from comparable properties in the area.
Reviewing and Editing Comparables
Scroll down to see the properties used in your valuation. Each card displays:
LTM Revenue - Last 12 months total revenue
ADR - Average Daily Rate
Occupancy - Booking rate percentage
Days Available - How many days the property was tracked (out of 365)
Understanding "Days Available"
Properties with fewer than 200 days available may only reflect seasonal performance (e.g., summer lets, student accommodation). For accurate year-round projections, prioritise comparables with 200+ days available.
Customising Your Comparable Set
Click Edit Comps to refine your valuation:
Remove properties that aren't truly comparable (different property types, insufficient data, outliers)
Add properties from the list or map view (maximum 12 comparables)
Use the map to visualise locations and select properties geographically
Click Regenerate Valuation after making changes
Deal Calculator: Modelling Scenarios
The Deal Calculator helps you test different performance outcomes across three scenarios:
Base Case - Realistic expectations based on the valuation
Best Case - Optimistic scenario (higher ADR/occupancy)
Worst Case - Conservative scenario (lower performance)
Adding Costs
One-Off Costs - Purchase price, refurbishment, furniture, legal fees
Monthly Costs - Rent/mortgage, service charges, management fees, utilities
Using Templates
Save your cost structures as templates to reuse across multiple valuations:
Save Template - Store your current costs for future use
Load Template - Pre-fill costs from a saved template
Make Default - Auto-load a template every time you use the tool
Apply to All Cases - Copy costs across all three scenarios
This is essential for property managers with standard cost structures or investors comparing multiple properties.
Adjusting Performance Variables
For best and worst case scenarios, adjust:
ADR Variation - Test +/- 10% on nightly rates
Occupancy Variation - Model higher or lower booking rates
The calculator shows updated profit, ROI, and cash flow projections for each scenario.
