The onsite team have noticed that there are some commonly asked questions from a number of residents across the development. With this in mind we’ve created this FAQ section, so you always have the answer to hand to some of the most common requests. Questions and answers will be added over time.
How can I gain access to my meter reading?
Paulo, the concierge, will be able to provide you with your meter reading. When required, head over to the concierge area and he will open the riser cupboard so that you can get the meter reading that you need.
I have lost my fob and/or the keys to the bin store. How can I get a new set of each?
Getting a new fob is an easy process, simplified further through the use of your My Account portal. First log into My Account and click on payments > new payment > replacement key or fob.
The charge for a new fob or key is £25 each. Once you have paid for the replacement key or fob via My Account, email TheExchangeHousingTeam@nhg.org.uk notifying us that you need a new key or fob, alongside your confirmation of payment.
We will handle everything from there onwards and will let you know when your new fob/key is ready. Please be aware that if the concierge doesn’t have any keys or fobs on site, we will need to order them or get a key cut for you which may take a little bit of time.
I am having issue with my HIU who do I contact about looking into this?
All the HIU’s across the development are maintained by Orka. Should you have any issues with your HIU please contact Orka directly and they will do all they can to assist you.

I can see that someone has gained unauthorised access to a building or the bin stores, what should I do?
