From the bills that need setting up, to easy ways to stick to a budget.
Moving out of uni housing or private student accomodation to moving into a second year house with your friends is exciting – but like any move, it can be stressful. Here’s a list of things you’ll need to sort out and keep in mind.
Rent
Council tax (if you're a full-time student, you should apply for an exemption)
Broadband
Gas and electric
TV Licence
Nominate the household bill keeper
They set up your utility bill accounts and payments, so everything’s kept organised.
Work out a laundry rota
So you all have time to wash and dry your clothes (goodbye Febreze, hello fresh threads).
Choose a food shopper and cooker
That way, everyone gets involved with day-to-day tasks.
If you live in a house or flat where the lease is shared, you can also share a TV Licence. Have a separate tenancy agreement? You’ll need your own licence.
