In short: Bills-included rentals roll some or all utilities, such as energy, water, broadband and sometimes council tax, into the rent. They make budgeting easier and are common in rooms, studios and serviced homes. Check exactly what's included, whether there's a fair-use cap, and whether council tax is covered. Then compare with the rent and typical bills for a similar home. Fraser Bond has a range of homes, including some with bills included.
