What are estate charges? | 2026 Freehold Rent and Service Charges FAQs

Your estimated estate charges for the year are calculated using current contract costs where available or looking at the cost of services previously, and using those costs to determine what we think the services will cost next year. We also adjust the cost to allow for inflation. Where we have new charges or a clear understanding from a supplier of a new cost, we'll align our costs to reflect this. While we aren't able to predict the future, our aim is to make sure your estate charges are as accurate as possible.
