Landlords’ Guide to Business Energy
Whether you’re managing commercial property or short-term lets, handling energy contracts correctly is vital. This guide outlines your responsibilities, the differences between landlord types, and how Utiliplus can support you with full account management.

We Offer Full Account Management for Landlords
Utiliplus handles everything from supplier communication to bill validation and contract renewals. Whether you manage one site or dozens, our team ensures your energy accounts run smoothly and efficiently – with one point of contact throughout.

Two Common Types of Landlords:

1. Long-Term Let Landlords
For long-term commercial or residential tenants, it usually makes sense to set up energy accounts in the tenant’s name. However, it’s crucial that landlords liaise with suppliers or a reliable energy broker to ensure these accounts are set up correctly and on time. This prevents:

  • Billing backlogs for tenants
  • Disputes about usage periods
  • Landlords being held liable for out-of-contract rates or unpaid bills

2. Air BnB / Short-Term Let Landlords
Air BnB landlords benefit massively from using an energy broker. With multiple properties, often across different suppliers, managing energy becomes time-consuming and error-prone.

Our Air BnB landlord clients enjoy:

  • A single Utiliplus account manager overseeing all sites
  • Consolidated support across different suppliers
  • Bill validation and contract negotiation handled in-house
  • Direct contact and no call centre queues

Most Air BnB landlords aren’t even aware of the benefits of working with a broker. With Utiliplus, the process is seamless – freeing up your time and ensuring you’re never overcharged.
