How to Find the Best Student Bills
Package for You

Moving into a new student or young professional household involves setting up your utility accounts and deciding how you and your housemates will share the bill payments. Our bill packages are designed to remove the hassle of sorting household bills, especially when multiple people are living in one house.

Read on to discover what you should look for when choosing your utilities package and how you can ensure you’re getting the most for your money.

How to choose a student bill package

Your student bill package should include:

Gas and electricity

Arguably, the most important element of any household bills, gas and electricity will power your hot water and electric hobs if you have them. Not every house has a gas connection, so you may only need electricity included in your bills package – make sure you’re aware of what your house uses!

Whichever package you choose, you’ll most likely have to give meter readings so the suppliers can track how much energy you’re using. This is a formality for most companies.

Water

Of course, you’re going to need water. Water providers usually function regionally, but if you’re investing in a bills package for your house, this will be sorted for you.

Broadband

When it comes to using the internet, as students or young professionals, you’re probably going to resort to apps such as Netflix on most days. Plus, for the days you choose to study at home or when you’re pushing through on a last-minute study session, you’re going to need WiFi. If there are more than five of you in your shared property, you’ll need a high-speed internet connection to withstand all of you using it at once. Broadband is a non-negotiable utility for a bill package to have!

An optional TV Licence

Not all student households will require a TV Licence, as you’ll only need one if you intend to watch live television. This also includes catch-up TV on BBC iPlayer.

The best student bill packages will:

Require one monthly payment

If all your bills are paid in one go, it’s simple to keep track of where your money is going (great for budgeting). A good student bill package will ensure that your gas, electricity, water, and broadband bills are paid all at the same time.

Have no hidden charges

Ideally, you don’t want to subscribe to a bill package that asks for setup fees or upfront deposits. You should only be paying for the bills you require throughout your tenancy.

Be hassle-free

When you sign up for a bill package, it’s an expectation that the service will make your life easier. It’s there to connect you with suppliers and to take care of the utilities on your household’s behalf. Read reviews and see what past customers have experienced!
