Fees are calculated based on the number of properties you wish to have on the service and SQM of those properties. There is a minimum charge and a maximum charge.
(b)
A property defined by any structure that has its own entrance and has more than two rooms. i.e. a security hut or external boiler room would not be classed as separate property but separate office block or parking structure on the same site would. The only exception to this may be a large hospital where the Property Owners may want a separate assessment for each ward or department, in which case these could be added as separate assessments.

If paying by credit card you can pay as you go so you would only pay for what you are planning on doing. If you are paying by invoice you would pay based on your customer requirements. Therefore if managed properly you should never have funds in the system that are not used.
