What exactly does the fee cover?
Check out the documents received at purchase or if you haven't bought yet get your solicitor to check out what's in the budget.
A big factor is refuse. Not always included. We pay the same fees more or less as my sister does yet mine includes refuse and hers doesn't. I could not justify paying the service charge they have in their development based on the extra expense of having to pay for refuse on top of that. Ours is ok, still less than we paid at purchase in 2004 - we've never paid that much again!
