Utilities

Gas, water and electricity bills

On your property details page it will state whether any utilities (gas, electricity and water) are included in your accommodation fees. If they are not included then your bills will need to be split equally between housemates. As a group of housemates you need to decide the best way to do this. It is difficult to estimate the cost as it will vary depending on the season and size of the property, but as a rough guide we recommend students budget around £15 to £20 per person, per week for utility bills.

When you move into your property the gas, electricity and water will all be connected. It is very important that the first person to move in takes a gas and electricity meter reading as you will more than likely find letters already at the property from the utility company who supplies the gas and electricity addressed to “The Occupier”. The location of the meters will be displayed on the inventory that will be in the property when you move in. Please do not pay any bills which are not addressed to you or any of your housemates.

When you and your housemates have all arrived you will then need to contact this company and give all of your names and the correct meter reading as at the start date of your tenancy so that they can set up the accounts. Wherever possible we will provide you with details of the utility suppliers of your property when you move in. You can continue to use this supplier or change to one of your choice, however please be aware that the period of time for a change to take effect can be up to eight weeks.

Internet access and telephone services
Only a few of our properties include internet in the weekly accommodation fees and you will be able to check this on the property details page. If it is not included then you will need to arrange for the set-up of an internet connection and bills will need to be split equally between housemates. All properties have one phone line installed and students can arrange to connect this line with British Telecom themselves, once they have moved into the property. All costs including any reconnection charges are the responsibility of the tenants, along with the monthly service charge. Once your phone line is active you will be able to arrange a broadband internet service with a provider of your choice.
