## Method

> Ranked by modelled net short-term revenue against the registered long-let rent for the same building and bedroom type. The cost model and its constants are published on the methodology page.

Revenue is annualised at an assumed 70% occupancy, net of platform fee, cleaning and utilities, assuming a self-managed unit. Occupancy is an assumption, not a measurement.

Rows below a 1× premium are excluded: there the nightly let earns less than the lease.
