Student house bills

Hi so me and my friends are getting a 3 bedroom house/flat for our second year and our maximum budget per week was £150. I’ve found a couple houses which are £150/£160 but don’t include bills, and I’ve found two houses which are £180 pppw but include all bills. I’m not sure how much bills would work out on average pppw, but would it be wiser to go for the £180 as we would know the set price we would be paying each month?

Hello!
In Lancaster on my contract each person has a set allowance (£15-16 pw) and this adds up for the number of people staying in the house, this is how I've found all my friends houses to be as well. I would suggest getting a contract that includes bills as you may end up spending more than the difference of not paying bills if you don't.

Hope this is helpful,

My bills (for a student house in Oxford) are around £65 per person per month (so around £16-£17 a week). That’s probably about what you could expect, depending on the city you live in
