Simple Student Bills

Simple Student Bills: student utilities in one monthly payment

Simple Student Bills is a British company specialising in managing utilities for student housing. Its proposition is to bundle energy, water, broadband and the TV licence into a single fixed-price monthly bill, split equally among the tenants of the house. The company presents itself as a service that eliminates admin and the need to contact different providers.

Included and optional services

Unlimited energy — gas and electricity — is included as standard in all packages. From there, the customer can configure the plan by adding other services:

• Unlimited energy: gas and electricity with no usage limit, included in all packages.
• Unlimited water: water supply with no restrictions on use.
• Broadband: full fibre connection for studying, streaming content and staying connected.
• TV licence: management of the licence to watch live TV and streaming platforms.

The customer chooses which services they need and the company takes care of contracting and managing them throughout the entire tenancy period.

How the service works

The sign-up process is structured in five steps. First, the student configures the package with the services that best suit their home. They then get a quote with a fixed monthly price and no hidden costs. Next, they invite their housemates so they are included in the management. The company handles contracting the providers, setting up the accounts and processing all the admin. Finally, the service is up and running for the tenants' arrival, with a single monthly bill.

Billing and splitting between housemates

Billing is concentrated into a single monthly payment that is divided equally among all residents of the home. Each tenant pays their share directly, so there is no need for one student to pay upfront and then claim the rest back from their housemates. The company states that the monthly price remains fixed throughout the package, with no surprise increases or hidden charges, and that unlimited energy works without usage limits, comparable to an unlimited phone plan.

Price guarantee and coverage

Simple Student Bills offers a price match guarantee: if the customer finds a package with equivalent features at a lower price, the company undertakes to beat it. The company states that it works with the UK's leading providers and covers all universities in the country. It also notes that its customer service team is based in the UK and that managing utilities saves students from spending time on administrative tasks.

Customer profile and reviews

The service is aimed at university students who share a house and need to organise their utilities for the academic year. The website includes testimonials from users at Northumbria University and the University of Lincoln, who highlight the speed of the process, the time saved and the value for money. The company presents itself as an option for those seeking a fixed price and delegated management of all utility-related tasks.
