A service charge is the amount you pay (if applicable) for the delivery of services in communal areas.
This may include things like cleaning, lighting, secure door entry, grounds maintenance, and the cost of managing these. For some customers, it might also include things like heating the inside of your home if you do not have an individual supply.
The amount charged depends on the services provided to your home and wider scheme.
Watch our video below which explains how service charges work.
