A regular payment for shared services in an estate or building.
Service charges pay for things residents share: security, cleaning, waste collection, maintenance of common areas, and sometimes a shared generator or water supply.
Ask what the charge covers, how often it is reviewed, and whether it is paid to the landlord or an estate association.
