So the question becomes: Would your DIY household bills (gas/electric + water + broadband + TV licence) reliably come in under that amount?

The bundle premium on current Gillams listings is typically £22–£26 pppw. Whether this is "worth it" depends on your DIY bills: if your group would spend more than the premium on utilities, bills-included saves money. If less, rent-only is cheaper.
Fair usage means normal student living – heating when it's cold, hot showers, cooking, devices. It doesn't cover things like cryptocurrency mining, running a home business, or keeping heating on 24/7 with windows open. Most Gillams properties state 'no fair usage cap'.
With Gillams, many properties offer both options – you can see both prices on the property card. Ask during your viewing about your preferred option. For existing tenancies, contact us before renewal to discuss adding bills.
Gillams all-inclusive typically covers gas, electricity, water, broadband and TV licence. Check individual property listings for confirmation as packages may vary.
