What owners want to know
Fees & payments
How are your fees calculated?
Commission is charged on net revenue, after cleaning and platform fees: 10% for Growth, 16% for Growth and Ops. We're not VAT-registered, so nothing is added. Direct bookings carry a 5% booking fee plus payment processing.
Can you show me a worked example?
Example: a 4-night stay at £300 a night.
| Guest pays | £1,340 |
|---|---|
| Airbnb fee | −£207.70 |
| Cleaning | −£120.00 |
| Stay fee | −£20.00 |
| South House (16%) | −£158.77 |
| You receive | £833.53 |
What other costs should I expect?
Cleaning and linen are charged separately. We add a £20 per-stay fee, paid by the guest, on both plans. Consumables, photography and staging are extra and quoted before any work starts.
Who pays the £20 per-stay fee?
Guests, on both plans, added on top of the cleaning fee. It never comes out of your revenue.
Switching & the agreement
Can I keep my listing, reviews and existing bookings?
Usually, yes. We retain the existing listing where possible and plan the handover around confirmed bookings.
How long is the agreement?
12 months. Renewal and notice terms are set out in your agreement before you sign.
What happens if I want to leave?
Your notice period and termination terms are set out in your agreement.
Results & reporting
Will I earn more?
We don't make promises before reviewing the property. Your Performance Review benchmarks it against the market and gives you revenue projections.
How do you improve performance?
We continually adjust pricing, minimum stays and channel mix using PriceLabs, Guesty and AI tools. Decisions reviewed by South House, not left to automation.
How do I know what is happening?
Access to the Guesty Owners App, plus a monthly update covering revenue, occupancy, ADR and priorities.
Day-to-day management
What does South House handle?
With Growth and Ops, we manage guests, cleaning, maintenance and local issues alongside the commercial side. With Growth, you or your local team retain day-to-day responsibility.
Can I still use the property?
Yes. You can block dates for personal use where they don't conflict with confirmed bookings.
What happens when something goes wrong?
With Growth and Ops, we take the lead on guest issues, maintenance and emergencies.
