Energy and telecommunications company Glide – who provides an inclusive one bill solution to landlords in the house share market – has expanded into London.
Glide’s ‘multisite’ service provides one bill for all utilities – including broadband and TV licensing – to landlords, letting agents and property investors with multiple properties; account information is accessible online 24/7 and the landlord is presented with one simple bill which details billing across their entire portfolio.
The major benefit of this service is it gives landlords and agents the perfect platform for collecting rents inclusive of bills; taking the hassle out of collecting separate bills and giving property owners more time to develop their core business.
“One of the biggest difficulties for landlords is managing their tenants’ utility bills,” explains James Villarreal, CEO at Glide: “The service we offer puts an end to what can be a nightmare. There’s no more dealing with multiple providers, long call queues and broken promises. There are no more unpaid bills and fewer defaulting tenants.
“We can fix tariffs for up to three years with costs spread across the year, if that’s what landlords want. The service allows landlords to offer bills-inclusive rents with confidence and so attract more tenants.”
James, who founded Glide in 2006 with business partner Sandeep Krishan, adds: “There isn’t another energy and telecoms company in the UK that specialises in looking after property owners like we do; one itemised bill for all services, properties and tenants. We make managing and collecting household bills easy and hassle-free for both landlords and tenants.
“We have clients across the country and have now expanded into London, where there is a vast market of rental properties. Our dedicated account managers will initially work face to face with clients to take away one of the biggest admin headaches landlords have to deal with; our service allows them to concentrate on building their core business.”
The company already has 15,000 customers across the UK with landlords, letting agents and property investors ranging from those with a single property to pension funds with large property portfolios.
