Rents
It is our aim to charge affordable rents on our homes. Service charges are also payable on most properties.
The government has set a formula for housing associations to use in setting rents up to 2012. Where our rents are not as high as the rent calculated by this formula, annual increases will be at RPI + ½% + £2 per week. Please note that service charges vary considerably and are generally higher on flats and sheltered flats in particular.
Average rents including service charges were as follows:

Assured rents and all service charges are increased on the first Monday in August each year. Fair rents (paid by secure tenants who generally have held tenancies since 1989) are increased following the re-registration of their rents by the Rent Officer Service - an external and independent government agency.
