Service charges are referred to as council invoices. You will need to quote your account number and invoice number when making your payment.

By telephone

Please ring 0300 332 0202 then select Option 3 - council invoices. This service is available for Solo, Maestro or debit cards only.

You can also contact the Property Accounts Team during office hours to make a card payment over the phone.

Cheque or postal orders

Cheques or postal orders should be made payable to the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Please remember to quote your name, address, and reference number on the back of the cheque, then send to Leaseholders Services at the address shown.

Please note that payments made by post or by bank giro credit may take up to ten days to process.

Standing Order

Contact the Property Accounts Team to request a Standing Order form. This will then need to be sent to your bank.

Alternatively, you can set this up directly with your bank quoting the following details:

  • National Westminster Bank Plc
  • Sort Code: 60-24-26
  • Account Number: 11464763

Complete the Bank Giro Credit slip on your invoice and take to any bank with your cheque or cash. The bank may make a charge if you do not have an account with them.

If you are a Girobank account holder, complete the counterfoil on your invoice and send it direct to:

National Girobank PLC,
Bootle,
Merseyside GIR 0AA.

At any post office

Complete the counterfoil on your invoice and hand it in with your payment at any post office.

In person

Direct payment can be made at the Royal Borough's service centres.
