It’s one of the potential sources for headaches and arguments but you can easily share bills with friends and avoid any stress and arguments with your housemates. 

The easy way for students, couples and young professionals to share bills with those they are living in a property with is to use the expertise of Glide.

That’s because they can arrange for the utilities to a property to be provided and then calculate how much the occupants will need to pay every month.

These payments can be collected monthly to ensure the supply of electricity, gas and water are not interrupted.

Enjoy excellent student broadband deals

Also, if you are sharing a student property while at university it is also a good idea to use Glide to enjoy excellent student broadband deals to ensure that your time online is enjoyable and stress free; there is a wide range of offers covering download speeds and data available.

Again, there’s a choice of potential broadband suppliers available to meet the housemates’ needs.

While it is relatively straightforward for those who are looking for utility suppliers for their property to contact these companies directly, the house-sharers will also need to decide which names will go on which bills.

However, there’s also a tendency for those sharing a house to put all of the occupants’ names onto the bill so that everyone is equally responsible for paying it.

This last point is an important one to bear in mind since the non-payment of a utility bill may lead to a bad credit rating which will affect everyone in the property when they come to apply for a mortgage, a bank loan or overdraft.

The Glide way of sharing bills means that the occupants are responsible for paying their own bill on time.

Sharing a house should be fun!

There’s no doubt that there is a lot are fun to be had when sharing a house especially when you are living with the friends you have made so far at uni. Try not to forget that although this should be a fun experience, there are responsibilities that need to be taken into account.

Among these should be the prompt payment of all bills, including utility and rent, since non-payment will lead to arguments and other issues; non-payment of rent could see the housemates being asked to leave the property.

Nobody wants that to happen which is why you need to be careful when choosing your housemates since you will need to get along and budget carefully for your time in the property.
