Rent and service charges

We use the rent and service charges we receive to provide services and carry out improvements to your home and estate. That's why it’s important you keep your payments up to date (and please don’t forget, your rent needs to be paid in advance).  

This section includes useful information on your rent, such as ways to pay, payment calendars and more about rent-clear weeks. 

Service charges cover the costs of maintaining communal areas for your estate and/or block. This page covers things like the difference between variable and fixed service charges, how we calculate estimated and actual service charges, plus information related to our most recent mailings.
