Making a payment

You can pay your rent or service charges online using our website, by Direct Debit, over the phone or in person at one of the many nationwide PayPoint locations.

From 5 April 2021 your rent is calculated over 52 weeks.  This means if you’re paying monthly you need to multiply your weekly rent by 52 and divide by 12.  

It’s really important you do this otherwise you won’t be paying the right amount and you could fall into arrears.

Online payments

1. Enter your payment reference number  (the long number on your payment swipe card)
2. Tell us how much you want to pay
3. Enter your payment card details and click ‘Submit’.

• For Android devices visit Google Play Store
• For Apple iOS devices visit the App Store
• For Windows devices visit Windows Phone Apps.
