its very workable by for example placing them on washing macheins and tumble dryas and buying pre paid services such as hair dryers and irons that take coins like 20p, you can get water meters installed but you pay a pruimum on the water its best to build water into the rent same with gas and keep electrisity spearate though pre paid meters in places like bedrooms and the rest gose into the rent you can also get the shower meterd but would piss peopal off aftert inserting 50p every 15 min if you like long showers but for wasing machines, irons and hardryers it would lower the rent a little and alow for increses in bills, you could also get thinks like certain sockets and tvs meterd as well though if you have loads to spend you can cange the boiler to eletric, works same as gas combi with radiator exceopts dose not use gas and starts at £425 and you dont have to re plum the house! theses thinks are more suted to HMO houses in mulitpul ocupancy and timers start from £40 refrubished by profetional comapnys

Hi, if you want to charge fair utility bills then you could get whats called pre paid meters and timers which are cheap and can be installed by an elctrision, please note i am not on about asking you eletric company to change your meter to pre paid just install your own, this can be handy as if you have bedsits the tenent buys cards off you from £1, £5, £10 which are provided by RDL http://www.rdlproducts.com/php/show-product.php?p=103 which can be found online though some peopel just by refurbished ones becouse there cheaper, though in a shard house a timer on items like hair dryers, irons and washing machines, TVs can help lower the bill and can be removed when house is sold on or you decide to move back there and take 20p, 50p and £1 and you set the time limit yourself, http://www.electricmeters.co.uk/prepaid_services.htm and http://www.electricmeters.co.uk/prepaid_timers.htm, have a look though the links might be helpfull but could stop arguments with tenants becouse thay dont have to use thouse services and could make life eser for you.
