Professional and administration fees

Some additional activities are not covered by the annual management fee you pay with your service charges. These activities are charged an extra professional or administration fee.

These activities are either carried out at the request of individual customers or arise when we have to carry out special work at a particular address.

Here are some examples of the services requiring a professional or administration fee. 

We will confirm if an administration fee applies, and what that current fee is, when a service is requested.

Payment is normally required in advance.

Professional fees for major works will be notified through the Section 20 consultation process.
