Paying other charges

Other charges include service charges, ground rents and Shared Ownership rent. You can pay these charges by phone, online, Direct Debit, standing order or bank transfer.

Other charges

If you are a tenant, service charges, water and sewerage are part of your rent. There is a list of charges in your tenancy agreement.

If you are a leaseholder, your lease sets out what your service charge pays for, your ground rent, and how you can pay it.
