Advertising Bills Inclusive 

Why should you advertise with bills inclusive?

The student rental market is competitive and landlords are constantly on the lookout for new ways to make their property stand out. Bills inclusive can be one of the best ways of doing that. To a lot of students; bills inclusive properties offer peace of mind and the convenience. Many will be facing the prospect of setting up utilities for the first time, which can be a frustrating experience for both students and their landlord. With bills inclusive, the whole process is taken care of; package setups, ongoing utility management and close-downs. Going bills inclusive gives tenants a more precise and easy-to-manage way of budgeting – if the same amount comes out as one simple reoccurring payment student tenants know exactly how much they have left to spend.

What can be included with bills inclusive? 

Most bills inclusive properties provide gas, electricity, broadband and water with the opportunity of adding a TV licence too but provider packages offer slightly different things depending on who you choose to go with. When advertising your bills inclusive property, we do recommend stating exactly which utilities are provided to make it easy for prospective tenants to understand.

How to advertise your bills inclusive property 

It’s easy to see why bills inclusive properties are popular, but how do you make the most of advertising these properties to keep them occupied year on year?

There are usually two routes a landlord can take when advertising a property:
