We moved our portfolio of flats in Edinburgh to Southside a year ago as we were unhappy with our existing agent, who was disinterested in getting good rental yields and keeping management costs down. I have been very impressed with Southside. Emma is doing a great job managing our properties ... Read Full Review

I was a tenant of SPM for nearly 3 years and experienced numerous problems from day one. A detailed review will follow in due course, but for now, suffice to say that 1 star is too high a rating. An example of the shoddy practice from SPM: We moved into a large 4 bedroom property in ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

They make a big deal about not charging tenant fees. This is completely disingenuous, as it;s a legal requirement to not charge fees. SPM aren't doing you a favour or being kind, they have no say in the matter. No letting agents charge fees, not just SPM!
