UniHomes, the student accommodation platform, has acquired Split The Bills, the student bill sharing provider.

The UniHomes proposition assists students in their search for student accommodation and ensures that the issue of arranging utilities and broadband are simplified through an all-inclusive cost.

The platform, which works hand in hand with partner letting agents across 25 UK cities, claims to have recorded a 60% increase in users over the past 12 months, whilst also increasing letting agent partnerships by 75% during the same period.

There are more than 14,000 student properties that are advertised on the UniHomes platform, which was founded in 2015 by Phil Greaves, Bradley Cox and Luca Mori.

UniHomes offers letting agents with HMO student properties free advertising..

Phil Greaves said: “Our goal is to become synonymous as the go-to accommodation portal for students, providing the best choice of available properties with the added bonus that bills are included.

“Our vast network of letting agent partners recognise the power of our offering. Adding UniHomes to an agent’s list of portal partners opens the market up to them considerably and, even better, we’re completely free of charge to agents’.”
