The Best All-inclusive Package For 2024-2025
No bills to pay!
GUARANTEED superfast Wi-Fi signal in every bedroom! [up to 500Mbs]
Our all-inclusive package is the best in Loughborough; it is an allowance scheme that is included in the rent to budget for the cost of Water Rates and TV Licence along with the bills for electricity & gas supplies and super-fast Virgin Media internet [download speed of up to 500Mbps is available in Loughborough].
A summary of what the scheme covers is as follows:
Water Rates: the cost of water supply & sewerage services used by the tenant during the term of the tenancy is included in the rent.
TV Licence: the cost of one TV Licence for the term of the tenancy is included in the rent; in a shared house with a joint tenancy, one TV Licence covers the whole house.
Electricity and Gas Supplies: the Rent includes an allowance to budget for the cost of electricity and gas used during the term of the tenancy; the allowance is based on a 52-week Tenancy (or pro-rata thereof for a shorter term).
- For a 3-bedroom house the allowance is: £2,000
- For a 4-bedroom house the allowance is: £2,500
- For a 5-bedroom house the allowance is: £2,750
- For a 6-bedroom house the allowance is: £3,250
The electricity and gas accounts are in the name of the landlord and the landlord pays the bills on behalf of the tenant. The landlord regularly researches the whole market for the most competitive tariff.
The allowance for electricity and gas has been set based on an estimated forecast of the unit cost of electricity and gas multiplied by a rolling annual average of actual historical kWh usage data in a typical multi-occupancy student house over recent years.
It should be noted that the actual amount of bills will depend on the prevailing unit cost of electricity and gas and the actual kWh usage by the tenant during the term of the tenancy i.e. how long the central heating is programmed to come on etc.
Smart Meters provide the energy supplier with daily readings and bills are generated monthly based on these readings. To keep track of usage, the tenant has access to the user interface for the Smart Meters and on request the landlord will provide the tenant with a copy of the bills showing the cost of electricity and gas used at the property.
At the end of the tenancy, it is agreed that if the total cost of the electricity and gas used during the term of the tenancy is more than the allowance the extra over amount is to be paid to the landlord by the tenant.
This budgeted allowance scheme is highly effective; the tenant is in full control of electricity and gas usage and encourages responsibility towards the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
Broadband Internet, Subscription TV and Phone Services (‘the Media Services’): the collective rent for all the tenants at the property includes an allowance of £504 for the property to budget for the cost of the Media Services used by the tenant during the term of the tenancy; the allowance is based on a 52-week tenancy (or pro-rata thereof for a shorter term). However, the tenant must choose what Media Services are required, contact the service provider directly and open an account in the name of one of the tenants. The landlord will either make a one-off payment or set up a monthly standing order to credit the full amount of the Media Services allowance to the bank account of the tenant who pays for the Media Services.
