These costs are likely to increase in line with inflation, as per the provisions of the Transfer, and the Managing Agent will keep you informed on an annual basis of the costs.
The Managing Agent will issue formal Estate Management Charge invoices to you. They will collect this usually in either quarterly or six-monthly installments. The Estate Management Charge will be collected in advance, so that there is money available to pay for the services provided.
