According to the recent survey from Accommodation for Students (AFS), more than 70 per cent of students say rent inclusive of bills is important to them.
But only 20 per cent of the properties on the AFS website are let on this basis.
Why aren’t more landlords offering student accommodation including bills?
It’s obviously what students want and it would give landlords a competitive edge when looking for new tenants.
Landlords with multiple properties may find the prospect of handling the bills for them all a little daunting but Glide can help make this really simple.
For landlords who want to start offering rent inclusive of bills, Glide can pull everything together into one itemised monthly bill, covering all services and all properties registered.
We suspect that although doing this would make their properties more attractive to students, some landlords may still want to avoid getting involved in bills at all costs.
This is where Glide can help students too.
For students who would like to take away the pain of splitting bills, Glide will bill each tenant in a house individually so you only pay your share.
You’ll only have to make one monthly payment for all of your household bills.
Yes, you’ll still have to pay bills and rent but at least you won’t have to deal with separate bills for gas, electricity, line rental, broadband and water.
