Can Students Get Discounts on Bills in the UK?

Are you a student in the UK? You might be eligible for discounts on energy, water, and broadband! Here’s how to save money on bills—plus, see how Housr Bills makes managing payments hassle-free.

Watch Our Quick Guide to Student Bill Discounts

Want a fast breakdown? Check out our video to learn how students can cut costs on household bills!

1. No Council Tax for Full-Time Students

Good news! Full-time students don’t have to pay council tax, but you need to:
✅ Register your exemption with your local council.
✅ Ensure all housemates are full-time students—otherwise, you may still owe some tax.

2. Get Cheaper WiFi Deals

Broadband providers often have student-specific or social tariffs, offering:

  • Shorter contracts to match uni terms.
  • Discounts for students and low-income households.
  • Freebies like free setup or vouchers—always ask before signing up!

3. Water Bill Discounts? It’s Possible!

While water bills don’t typically have student discounts, some suppliers offer:
💧 Low-income support schemes—check with your provider to see if you qualify.
💧 Fixed-rate options to help you budget.

4. Energy Savings for Students

There’s no direct student energy discount, but you can still save by:
⚡ Splitting costs evenly with housemates.
⚡ Choosing a fixed-rate deal to avoid price hikes.
⚡ Being mindful of usage—switch off lights and layer up in winter!

5. Save Time & Money with Housr Bills

Sorting individual bills can be a hassle. Housr Bills bundles everything into one simple payment, covering:
✅ Energy
✅ Water
✅ Broadband

This can be cheaper than paying separately—plus, no chasing housemates for money!
