Service Charge

All residents pay a contribution to the running costs of the communal village facilities, support services and maintenance of the communal buildings and grounds; this is known as the ‘service charge’.

The service charge is divided into a number of components. These cover the costs of items as detailed below. The service charge account is raised in advance and is split equally between all properties. You will only be responsible for your proportion of the service charge for your property, and we will be responsible for the service charge on any unsold or unlet properties. For the avoidance of doubt, you are still responsible for the service charge even if your property becomes vacant and is in the process of being sold. Under these circumstances, the landlord, Senior Living (Exeter) Ltd may be willing to accrue service charges until the property is sold. A copy of a typical service charge account can be obtained from the village adviser.

The service charge will be £8,743 per year (£9,262 for double-occupancy) divided into quarterly payments of £2,185.75 (£2,315.50 for double-occupancy).
