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.
