Mark has been exceptional throughout our tenancy responding to all maintenance queries and constantly scheduling maintenance and improvement works. He is easy to communicate with and often goes the extra mile to help us even with the littlest of things. Amy was exceptional in helping myself and a friend find a new property upon our completion with the current tenancy. She organised viewings and was extremely attentive to our needs. As an agency, SouthSide are superb. Completely transparent a...

We are both unfamiliar with the city, yet Gary gave us additional information surrounding each property and displayed excellent knowledge of the area.

My experience of Southside Management was during a water leak that pervaded one side of the tenement building and they manage one of the properties in the block. I called them to alert them about the leak and ask their assistance in sourcing the location of the leak (water was gushing into my son's bedroom!). Mark answered promptly on the out of hours line) and was at the building within 20 minutes. He took control of the situation, located the leak, managed to wake up the residents and then tur...

I have an immaculate 3 double bedroom semi detached house 3 miles south of Edimburgh city center, and Claire at Southsde agree to manage it, and find tenants. John works very fast, and appears professional at first. but he makes unacceptable mistakes in his notes, and then refuses to amend his errors and interfered with his colleague.. For example he wrote down 2 bdrm instead of 3 and insisted that the property is let at the price of a 2 bedroom instead of 3, He acted irrationally, requesting ...

We began to let our flat eighteen months ago and chose Southside after reading about the ethos of the company and seeing the positive reviews on the website. From the first visit by John, it was apparent that our first impressions were spot on and that this is an intelligent and effective company who take great care and pride in managing the properties for the benefit of both owners and their tenants. Lauren has been an excellent property manager in dealing promptly and effectively with any is...

Lauren has been looking after my property in Montague Street, Edinburgh since February 2016. She is very professional, communicates well and is proactive in dealing with issues. Lauren has also gone the 'extra mile' meeting me in her own time at the flat to discuss furniture and maintenance issues. I value Lauren's advice and would recommend her to any prospective landlord as highly competent professional....

I have been a tenant with Southside Property Management for three years going on a fourth year now. I have been lucky enough to have Lauren Caldwell as my property manager during this time. It goes without saying that my experience has been extremely positive, Southside is quick to respond if there are any queries and requests. The flats that I have lived in have been excellent and very affordable. Southside is extremely professional and has shown many times that they care about us as tenants an...

We had heard a couple of people grumble about Southside previously so didn't know what to expect, but we were delighted with the service! After we submitted our application form, Danny kept us updated with what the next steps were after we'd been shortlisted, he made it easy to understand what additional information we needed to provide and was consisten...

I have been a tenant with Southside property for two years now with the property manager Mark Philips. I have had a very positive experience, any queries that have arisen have been solved speedily and professionally. As a property management company they have great knowledge and resources to enable their tenants to feel secure and looked after throughout tenancy. The flat in which I have lived in has been of a very high standard and well priced for everything which is included in the monthly ren...

I've recently contacted Southside property management to handle the letting of my flat based on the good reviews I'd read. I was not disappointed at all and their faultless service and experience in the letting market meant that within a week of advertising I had tenants wanting to move in. Lauren handled all of my queries promptly and efficiently and made sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend them based on my experience. Full marks to John and his team!...

Danny has been incredibly contentious throughout my entire application process while renting a flat from Southside. I have been in California while working through the paperwork and he has been extremely accommodating and patient in corresponding via email. I always receive a quick and courteous response to any message I send along and it has made the renting process very pleasant. I will be taking possession of my property this Saturday and look forward to further positive experiences with t...

I really appreciate the way Southside Property Mgmt works: my property manager Mark is extremely very proactive (e.g. he arranged to renovate the bathroom without me even asking), very responsive (I was very impressed with how fast he acted when a random bed-bug was sighted) and last, the personal touch is greatly appreciated (your email would always be replied to and fast - guaranteed).

I have always found Southside and in particular John to offer excellent knowledge and advice on sales and lettings. Johns knowledge of the Edinburgh property market is 'second to none', and has helped me massively in not only finding and keeping excellent tenants but also maximising rental potential. Over the last 10 years I have used different companies but have found none of them to be as professional and easy to work with as Southside. I wouldn't look any where else if you have either a p...

The Southside Management Team have gone above and beyond what is required throughout my whole tenancy. From their outstanding customer service to efficiency in dealing with queries during the lease, they have impressed. They are a remarkable company, with remarkable people and would strongly recommend choosing to let or buy through their organisation. Special thanks to Alan and Derek for making my stay hassle free and an absolute pleasure from start to finish....

Agent Fees

At SouthSide we have no upfront fee or hidden charges whatsoever for tenants and the only charge to landlords is 9% +VAT of the monthly rent and we do everything for you! If there are tenants in situ when we take on a property then our fee to landlords is reduced to 6%+VAT of the monthly rental and reverts to the standard 9%+VAT when new tenants move in. We also negotiate rates with external companies for legal certificates/requirements and do not take a cut of this cost, which is typical in our industry. We work with trusted maintenance companies and have negotiated fixed costs for their work e.g. landlord gas safety certificate for £39 incl. VAT. Many of our existing landlords who had managed their property themselves have said that as a result of our management and cost savings, this alone covers our management fee.
