Why Choosing Bills-Included Lincoln Digs Can Save You Hundreds Each Year (and Your Sanity!)

When you're starting university in Lincoln, your student accommodation choice can seriously impact both your wallet and your wellbeing. While there are plenty of options on the market, opting for bills-included Lincoln digs is one of the smartest financial and practical decisions a student can make.

What Does “Bills-Included” Actually Mean?

Bills-included student digs cover your gas, electricity, water, heating, and often your TV licence and broadband within the rent. That means you pay one set monthly amount without having to deal with fluctuating bills, unexpected charges, or setting up utility accounts.

At Student Housing, all of our Lincoln properties are bills-included as standard—no hidden extras, no stress.

How Bills-Included Digs Save You Money

Let’s break it down:

No setup fees or deposits for utilities like gas, electric or broadband.
No surprise bills—even in winter when heating costs spike.
Avoid penalties or reconnection fees that come from missed utility payments.
Shared evenly—no arguments with housemates over who used what.

When you choose bills-included Lincoln accommodation, you know exactly what you’ll pay each month. That makes budgeting way easier and helps you avoid those last-minute pleas to the Bank of Mum and Dad.

The Stress of Managing Bills (and Why You Don’t Need It)

University is a time to learn, make friends and enjoy your independence—not to worry about comparing energy tariffs or chasing your flatmate for their half of the water bill. Managing utilities can get complicated, especially if:

Someone forgets to pay on time
Usage spikes in winter or during exam season
You’re unfamiliar with how UK utility billing works (especially for international students)

Bills-included digs eliminate that hassle. Everything is handled by your letting agent—so if anything goes wrong, there’s one point of contact.

Better for Your Mental Health and House Harmony

Money worries and household disputes are two of the biggest causes of stress for students. Opting for all-inclusive accommodation removes one of the most common sources of tension in shared houses.

You won’t need to argue about who left the heating on overnight or how to split an electric bill that no one fully understands. Everyone pays the same, and it’s all taken care of.

Is It Really Cheaper in the Long Run?

Yes—especially in a city like Lincoln, where winters can be long and chilly. Many students underestimate the cost of heating and hot water. What seems like a cheaper rent can quickly become more expensive once bills are added.

With Student Housing, our bills-included rent prices are carefully calculated to cover standard student usage. Plus, we give tenants guides on energy saving so you stay within fair usage—and still stay warm.

Final Thoughts

Choosing bills-included Lincoln digs gives you peace of mind, financial clarity, and time to focus on what really matters during your university years. Whether you're new to Lincoln or returning for another year, ditch the stress and go all-in with all-inclusive.
