how to pay your rent

There are a number of easy ways to pay for the charges associated with your home or garage.

Direct Debit

The easiest and most convenient way to pay - straight from your bank!
Once your regular payment is set up correctly, you’ll only hear from us when your payment needs to change. To set up a direct debit, please contact your local office or print the relevant form below.

Standing Order

Another way of paying directly through your bank, saving you valuable time! Unlike direct debit, you will need to ask your bank to amend your payments when they need to change.

To set up a standing order, please contact your local office or print the relevant form below.

On-line

You can view your account balance and make payments using your debit card at any time of the day or night by opening a self-service account.

Give us a call

If you have a debit or credit card, you can pay over the telephone by calling 0845 1550387 between 9am and 5pm.

If you want to make a payment outside of these hours, call our automated phone line on 0844 5578321. You’ll need an allpay payment card to pay on this number.

Pay using cash

You can pay by cash or cheque at any post office by taking your payment and your Home Group payment card. All cheques must be made payable to ‘Post Office Ltd’.

Any outlet displaying the ‘PayPoint’ logo will accept cash payments. You will need your Home Group payment card to make payments at these outlets.

Please note - staff at these outlets do not have any access to any Home Group information, so cannot view your account or advise you on any aspect of your tenancy. Contact your local office for help.

Do you receive Housing Benefit?

If you do, we encourage you to sign your claim forms to have this paid direct to Home Group. Our team in your local office will be able to help you with any queries you have about this.

If you don’t currently receive Housing Benefit, but need help to pay your rent, contact the Housing Benefit team at your local authority for help – you’ll find their telephone number in the telephone directory, or on-line at www.direct.gov.uk.

Please pay regularly and promptly. Customer payments fund all of the services we provide, so we take it very seriously if we do not receive them when we should. Customers who do not pay on time could face legal action.

If you are finding it hard to pay your rent, please contact your local office. Our teams have lots of experience and they are committed to supporting customers who may be in difficulty. You can also get free, impartial and confidential advice on arrears and debt from the following agencies -
