Service charges

As a Westminster City Council leaseholder find information about your service charges and how to pay them.

Ways to pay your service charge

Every year an estimated service charge statement will be issued in March. Payment is required in two instalments by 1st April and 1st October. An actual charge statement is issued in September each year. For convenience we offer a service where you can pay on a quarterly or monthly basis in equal instalments. We have provided all the payment options available so you can choose the one that works for you.

Pay by Direct Debit

Direct Debit is the easiest and most convenient way to pay, for leaseholders who have a bank or building society. To set up a direct debit please contact the Leasehold Operations team who will be happy to send you a form to complete and return to:
