Service Charge Allocation Study Experts in Dubai 

A service charge allocation study sets out how shared property costs are allocated across units or components. For jointly owned property in Dubai, unit owners contribute to approved service charges under the applicable DLD/RERA framework. The study considers the governing property documents, approved budget and allocation basis.

Land Sterling is one of the best service charge allocation study services company in Dubai. Our experts assess the cost allocation and supporting information for the property, taking account of the applicable approval process. 

What is a Service Charge in Property Management?

A service charge, as the name suggests, is the amount of money that you pay for using the common building services, as well as for their maintenance needs. 

Service charges are generally paid on a monthly basis. But the time period can vary depending on the lease agreement. The building owner has to disclose all the details regarding the service charge amount, the way it’s calculated, and where the amount will be used in the lease agreement.
