Landlord Reviews
Testimonial from a Landlord of HMOS
“After setting up well over 1000 HMO rooms and many years as a property trainer, I know that the all-in model with free electricity that many HMO owners adopt is flawed. It drives the wrong behaviour, with tenants not switching off appliances using electric heaters whilst leaving the windows wide open or worse taking a long weekend in Greece and leaving the appliances running. Savvy landlords have been sub metering their tenants for years. Whenever I fit Metro Prepaid meters to rooms I find the electric use by the household drops by nearly half, a positive contribution to cutting energy costs and helping energy conservation. I am now fitting Metro meters to all my properties.”

"The beauty of it [Metro Prepaid electric sub meter] is that it has made it more convenient for Landlords to control their bills. More importantly, it’s made the Tenant more aware of what they’re using.
This could have a positive effect on the commercial evaluation of your property.”

“Can I share with you a tip for HMO landlords on how to more half their electric costs overnight?
Answer: Fit prepay electric meters and when I have done this and my bills have dropped by 49%. Not only are you saving money and the planet but you are recovering most of the cost of the electric of your now 51% electric bill using prepay meters by charging your tenants for it.”

"My landlord used to read my check meter every few months and send me random large bills. I asked him to put in a Prepay Metro meter after my boyfriend (electrician) told me about it.
Now I manage what I spend and when I spent it. My bills have almost halved. I can top up my meter after hours with paypoint. Really helpful. I work long hours and evening shifts so I need this flexibility.
When my local store was off-line I called the Metro helpdesk late one night and they helped me."
