Service charges

On many of our houses we have a charge which will cover services.

These can cover:

• Maintaining communal landscaped or grassed areas
• Communal area window cleaning
• Back court maintenance
• Property maintenance costs of common areas at sheltered housing

We set a charge that simply covers the actual cost of providing the service with a very small management fee. Service charges can also be covered by Housing Benefit/Universal Credit for those tenants that qualify.
