Money: Moving house soon?
If you’re a current university student then your tenancy or halls residency is going to be coming to an end this month. Moving means you have an opportunity to save money on your bills for the following year.
Recent announcements from energy bosses are saying that gas and electricity prices are going to go up 40% this winter. This means choosing the right supplier is very important. You must also make sure it is okay with your landlord to change your supplier as there is a possibility they may not let you. Comparison sites like uswitch.com will help you find the best prices.
You may not have to worry about the cold winter yet but there are other bills - Broadband bills are the main ones to start thinking about. There are quite a few options and we have reviewed them at http://www.wealthystudent.co.uk/student-savings-advice/cheapest-broadband.php for you to take a look at.
Another way to save money when moving house is to use your persuasive skills to get your family or friends to help you move rather than renting van out to move your stuff. This can save you at least £50. Returning a favour somehow will definitely save you some cash.
