IS YOUR SERVICE CHARGE TOO HIGH?
LET’S FIND OUT — AND FIX IT.
THE REALITY
In a market where every cost counts, excessive service charges can quietly erode profitability — and in many cases, tenants are paying more than they should. Service charges should cover genuine shared costs, not act as a hidden profit centre. Yet with rising costs, increasing rents, and unchallenged budgets, many businesses end up absorbing expenses that should be reviewed and, where necessary, reduced.
Across the UK, we help businesses review and challenge inflated or inaccurate service charge bills, recover overpayments, and secure agreements that are fair, transparent, and commercially sustainable. Our approach isn’t about conflict — it’s about creating accountability and solutions that work for both tenant and landlord
WHAT WE NEED TO GET STARTED
If you have experienced excessive service charge increases, we can begin with just three simple documents:
- Your current lease
- The last five years of service charge packs
- The last five years of service charge reconciliations
Once we have these, our team will:
- Review the documents in detail.
- Build a strong case using evidence and market insight.
- Negotiate with your landlord to reach a fair, sustainable outcome.
Throughout the process, we will keep you fully informed, so you always know where things stand.
KEEPING SERVICE CHARGES AFFORDABLE
We believe in a win-win outcome. Tenants get fairness and accountability; landlords keep their buildings operating to a high standard without losing trusted occupiers.
Let’s review your service charge. No obligation. Just clarity — and results if you need them.
