Having to provide for yourself, keep your surroundings clean and pay the bills on time can be overwhelming for anybody – especially for those who have never lived alone before.
What does all bills inclusive mean?
All bills Inclusive or Utilities included: “All bills inclusive” generally means that all of the utility costs are included in the rental fee amount. These utilities may include, but are not limited to, electricity costs, water usage and sewer costs, electric heating costs, natural gas heating costs and old heating costs. Graysons Properties will also include in their All Bills Inclusive Package, superfast broadband and a cleaning service. In addition some our student accommodations/flats/houses also benefit from a Sky package
In a national poll, 77% of all students said that a strong broadband connection is essential item as part of their bills inclusive package for their student accommodation. You will be pleased to know that at Graysons Properties the following properties benefit from a dedicated 1GB Fibre line,as part of the bills inclusive; City View Jesmond Newcastle, City View@ Phoenix House Sunderland and City View @ Thornhill Crescent Sunderland. Our Leazes Terrace Accommodation in the heart of Newcastle City Centre benefits from a 2GB fibre line.
A national research conducted by Accommodation for Students, of their respondents, a staggering 70% consider a bills inclusive rent package important. 90% of Graysons Properties accommodation for students and professionals in Newcastle and Sunderland ,provide bills inclusive packages. Meanwhile, student advice sites such as Save the Student are actively recommending that new tenants try to negotiate bills as part of the rent.
The benefits to student and professional tenants
- Simplicity
- Ease of use
- Budget
Setting up utilities contracts is a can be a frustrating experience, especially if you never had to do it before. Working out how to split the bills is a good way to stir up arguments between housemates.
Having bills included, eliminates these possible points of discord. Instead, by offering a bills-inclusive rent package Graysons Properties are giving their student and professional tenants a much easier way of managing their money. You also have the peace of mind that utility payments are under control.
Research by Natwest, suggests that just under a third of students don’t actively budget. While half of students, find having to manage their budget, adds to the stress of living away from home.
A Graysons Properties bills inclusive rent package helps with budgeting and reduces the stress of having to manage money.
