Service Charge Consultancy

Introduction

We provide Service Charge advice to both landlords and occupiers.

The weight of service charges, lifted

Service charges represent a significant cost to businesses occupying multi-occupied premises.

For landlords, in addition to ensuring the property remains well maintained, compliant and presenting well, it’s important that the service charge is reasonable; not only to reduce the scope for challenge but also to attract new tenants. A service charge that offers good value for money is a selling point.

We have considerable experience in reviewing service charges relating to commercial property on behalf of both occupiers and landlords; helping to ensure service charges are fair and reasonable and comply with the RICS “Service Charges in Commercial Property” best practice guidance.
