Services Charges
Your service charge is the money you pay towards the day-to-day running costs of your development. Every resident pays a service charge and the money is used to cover items such as maintenance, repairs, gardening and communal facilities.
You can read more about our service charges here.
How to pay
Highland Residential will advise you annually, in writing, of your new monthly charge for the core services you receive for the following year (effective 1 April). In the majority of cases this charge will be for things that will happen in the coming year (for example, open space maintenance where Highland Residential has tendered costs). Full details of costs incurred and charges will be detailed in your account statement (sent twice a year).

Selling or Moving
Owners are asked to notify Highland Residential at least one month prior to moving out of their homes to allow final accounts to be calculated, including the refund of any charges paid in advance. Where notification is received less than three weeks prior to moving, a charge for the extra administration will be made and added to the final bill. Where information is requested less than five working days prior to the settlement date, this charge will increase. Please contact us directly for more information.
