What does my service charge cover?

Update: Estate management and maintenance fees have been waived until Phase 2 of the development is complete. Full details are still to be confirmed — this page will be updated when more information is available.

When charges do apply, your annual service charge will cover the costs of managing and maintaining the communal areas of the estate. This typically includes:

Grounds Maintenance:

• Grass cutting and hedge trimming
• Planting and landscaping
• Weed control on paths and roads

Cleaning:

• Communal bin areas
• Pathways and roads
• Play equipment

Repairs & Maintenance:

• Street lighting repairs
• Path and road repairs
• Fence and gate maintenance
• Play area maintenance

Management:

• Estate management services
• Insurance for communal areas
• Administration costs

When charges apply, they will be calculated annually and may vary based on actual costs incurred, and you’ll receive a breakdown from the management company. There is no estate management company yet — one is expected once Phase 2 is complete, but there is no confirmed date. Until then, take maintenance queries to your builder’s customer services, and estate-wide issues to Evans Homes, who are responsible for the site as a whole (details on the Contacts page).
