Estate management
Estate services, such as cleaning communal areas and communal garden management are paid for by homeowners through their service charges and tenants through their rent.
We aim to pitch the level of service at a level affordable to all our residents whilst providing a decent environment to live in.
The types of services offered are tailored to meet the needs of an individual estate. If there is a Tenant Management Organisation on your estate, they may have taken on some of the maintenance duties. If you live in a Partners for Islington managed property, they adhere to the same standards as a Islington Council run estate.
If you have a query about, how your estate is maintained you can contact Housing Services.
