Paying by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay your rent or other payments for example, service charges (for leaseholders and some freeholders).
You can pay your rent, garage fees and your service charges using Direct Debit. This is a process that allows your rent or other payments to be automatically transferred from your bank account to us monthly.
This form of payment is easy because you don’t need to worry about forgetting to make your payments– it is all taken care of automatically.
