The Upgrade Authority
We’re building the next generation of property technology platforms.
Our Story
Founded in Bristol, England, The Upgrade Authority is building the future of property technology, one platform at a time.
The Upgrade Authority was born from a simple observation: the property industry was ripe for a technology revolution.
We saw hosts struggling with fragmented tools, guests frustrated by poor booking experiences, and investors lacking access to transparent opportunities. So we set out to build something better.
Hakim Parr
Founder
Through his military background, our founder developed a deep understanding of systems, precision, and getting things right the first time. But when he entered the property management world, he was shocked by how outdated and stressful the whole experience was for landlords.
Our Mission
To make property technology simple, fair, and profitable for everyone.
We believe technology should solve problems, not create them. That’s why we build platforms that are intuitive for hosts, transparent in pricing, and genuinely useful.
Why We’re Different
Host-First Approach
Everything we build starts with asking: “How does this help our hosts succeed?”
No Hidden Surprises
Transparent pricing, clear terms, and honest communication. Always.
Built for the UK
We understand the UK property market – from AST regulations to local guest expectations.
Evidence You Can Inspect
Our market research publishes its definitions, dates and limitations alongside the result.
Technology That Works
We use the latest technology, but only when it genuinely improves the user experience.
