Ad-hoc service requests
Ad-hoc service requests relate to services which are considered to fall outside of the standard leasehold management service provision. This means that a separate ad-hoc charge is payable.
These are generally services where only the individual requesting the service will benefit from the service in question, therefore it would be unfair to pass the costs on to other leaseholders under a standard apportionment.
Charges identified with an ‘up-front’ payment will require payment to be made before the service is provided. Those with payment identified as ‘on account’ will see the charge added to the leasehold service charge account.
Ad-hoc charges are subject to change. Please confirm the amount to pay before requesting the service:
