    The majority of Whiteley leasehold flats will have a service bill for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the landlord.

In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, normally this is not a significant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you should to check it because sometimes it can be many hundreds of pounds.
