FAQs for Landlords: Why You Should List Your Property with UniHomes via Hybr

At Hybr, we’re always looking for ways to make your life easier and help you maximise the value of your properties. That’s why we’ve partnered with UniHomes – the UK’s biggest driver of student demand, with over 3 million searches per year! This partnership gives your properties even greater exposure, while ensuring that utilities are fully managed without any hassle or extra cost to you.

If you’re wondering how this benefits you, we’ve answered the most common landlord questions below. Spoiler: It’s all good news!

What is UniHomes and how does their bills package work?

UniHomes is a student accommodation platform which offers an all-inclusive bills package for students, covering gas, electricity, water, fibre internet, and a TV licence. Unlike traditional “split-the-bills” services, UniHomes handles everything—tenants simply pay a set amount each month, with no surprise charges and no chasing housemates for payments.

For you, this means:

✔ No unpaid bills at the end of tenancy—say goodbye to headaches and admin

✔ No need to manage utilities—UniHomes sorts it all.

✔ No extra effort—you keep renting as usual while your tenants get a seamless bills package.

How does the contract work if I usually use my own rental agreement?

No changes needed! You keep using your standard contract. When a tenant rents through UniHomes, they get a separate contract for their bills package. This is completely optional for tenants, so they’re free to choose whether they want to opt in.

For landlords, it’s business as usual—just with added convenience!

What if my property already includes bills?

If you already offer bills included, your property won’t be eligible for UniHomes. However, if you have properties that aren’t shifting as quickly, consider switching them to an excludes bills listing. Why?

🚀 Extra exposure – More student eyes on your listing.

📈 Higher demand – Tenants love the ease of an all-inclusive package.

If you’ve got properties sitting empty, this could be a game-changer. It’s worth a trial!

Do I have to pay any fees to UniHomes if tenants sign through them?

Absolutely not! Listing your properties through UniHomes is completely free for landlords.

What do tenants typically pay for the UniHomes bills package?

The cost of the UniHomes bills package varies depending on the size of the student group renting the property. Here’s a breakdown of the typical weekly charges per tenant:

This all-inclusive package simplifies budgeting for students and reduces the hassle of setting up multiple utility accounts, making properties with UniHomes listings more attractive to tenants.
