Service charges

What are service charges?

A service charge is an amount that residents pay to cover the cost of providing communal or shared services to a building, and sometimes the surrounding estate. It is usually for communal areas which your home either has access to, benefits from its upkeep, or is part of the scheme or estate where you live. A service charge is usually paid in addition to rent.

The way service charges are calculated and what they cover are explained in your tenancy agreement or lease. We are committed to providing all residents with value for money and quality services.
