With the growing popularity for students wanting all-inclusive rents, growing numbers of landlords and letting agents are looking to meet this need by offering Bills Inclusive.
Rather than spending hours on the admin this brings, Glide offer the solution of managing this for those who have a large portfolio of properties.
There’s no doubt that one reason landlords are put off from offering all-inclusive rents is the time and administration required to organise and pay the utility providers.
However, this headache is dealt with by Glide who do it for you.
Student gas bills will be paid promptly
This means that student gas bills will be paid promptly during the winter and the property will remain warm; the utility offering also covers water, electricity and the TV licence.
In addition, to help the make landlord’s administration easier, Glide’s all-inclusive bills service will combine all utilities so the landlord receives just one bill for all of the services being provided.
It’s important to appreciate that this offering also covers landlords with larger portfolios and also property funds who want to offer all-inclusive rents but have someone else dealing with the utility provision.
There’s also an inbuilt flexibility for landlords to restrict their tenants’ broadband usage should they miss a rent payment which will, inevitably, improve debt collection.
The best student broadband deals
As mentioned previously, Glide help landlords organise and pay for utility bills and have access to some of the best student broadband deals around.
There’s no doubt that along with all-inclusive rents, students want a property with a good broadband connection. Again, this is another admin headache that Glide can take care of.
From our research, we found that 74% of tenants, which are professionals and students living in shared accommodation, are wanting all-inclusive bills more than ever.
This stat suggests that the marketplace is changing and tenants want to budget more effectively and not have the stress of organising utilities.
The biggest attraction for using Glide is that tenants are only responsible for paying their share of the bills, without worrying whether housemates can afford to pay or not.
