Student Housing
#1 Student Lettings Agency
It’s the first thing most students ask — and with good reason. When you’re renting your first house, navigating gas, electric, and Wi-Fi contracts isn’t exactly on your university bucket list. That’s why understanding what’s included in your rent (and what’s not) can save you stress, confusion, and surprise costs later on.
The good news? At Student Housing, we include all your essential bills in the rent — and we do it better than anyone else in the city.
When you rent a property through Student Housing, your weekly rent already covers:
Gas
Electricity
Water
Broadband
TV Licence
That means no need to open utility accounts, split bills with housemates, or chase people for payments. Everything’s set up and managed for you before you even move in.
We operate a fair usage policy, which sets a generous monthly energy allowance for each property. This is based on:
How energy-efficient the property is (its EPC rating)
How many tenants are living there
These allowances are clearly stated in your tenancy documents — no vague fine print. To give you a sense of scale, our top-end allowance sits at a value of up to £31 per person per week, which is among the highest energy caps of any student letting agent in Lincoln or Nottingham.
To put it simply:
That’s enough to heat, light and power a fully occupied student house, even in the middle of winter.
And across the board, the vast majority of our tenants stay well under their energy allowance each year. In fact, most of them never even come close.
So unless you’re running a sauna in your bedroom or leaving the oven on 24/7, you won’t need to worry.
Some student agents advertise low weekly rents — but don’t include bills. At first glance, it might seem cheaper. But once you add on gas, electric, water, and broadband — especially at today’s rates — the costs can stack up fast.
Not to mention the admin headache:
Multiple suppliers
Different billing dates
Splitting costs fairly when someone goes home early or moves out
We’ve seen plenty of groups fall out over unpaid utility bills. That’s why we keep it simple — one rent payment, everything covered.
While all essential bills are covered, we always recommend students consider contents insurance to protect personal belongings. This isn’t included in your rent — but we’ve partnered with Urban Jungle to make it easy and affordable to cover your stuff.
Aside from that, your main budget considerations will be food, transport, and any streaming services or subscriptions you personally use.
In a student market full of hidden costs and small print, we believe in transparency — and in keeping things simple. That’s why all our properties come with bills included, with one of the highest energy allowances in the city, and no nasty surprises later on.
Whether you’re renting for the first time or switching from another agent, it pays to know what you’re actually getting. And at Student Housing, what you see is what you get.
