With energy prices climbing again this autumn, UK property owners—especially those managing HMOs, serviced accommodations, and multi-unit rentals—are feeling the pinch. The latest Ofgem price cap adjustments and rising wholesale costs mean that heating bills, appliance usage, and even communal lighting are becoming major budget concerns. But here’s the good news: smart property management can dramatically reduce your exposure to these costs while keeping tenants happy and your margins intact.

Start by auditing your properties for energy inefficiencies. Are your boilers overdue for servicing? Are tenants using outdated appliances? Installing smart thermostats, LED lighting, and low-flow showerheads can cut costs without compromising comfort. For landlords managing multiple units, consider bulk energy procurement or switching to green suppliers offering fixed-rate contracts. And don’t overlook tenant education—simple guides on energy-saving habits can reduce usage across the board. If you’re offering bills-inclusive packages, now’s the time to revisit your pricing model and usage caps to ensure sustainability.
