Bill Split by Area
When one meter feeds three units, floor area is the fairest defensible divisor - each unit pays its share of the space.

How it works
Each unit's share = bill x (unit area / total area). Area-weighted splitting is standard for service charges; document the areas once and every future bill is arithmetic.
Frequently asked questions
Is splitting bills by floor area fair?
It is the standard for service charges and insurance in multi-let buildings - occupancy-based splits are fairer for hot water but harder to verify. Pick one method and write it into the agreements.
How do I get accurate unit areas?
Measure each unit once - a RoomPlot scan produces the gross internal area per unit in minutes, and the same figures serve listings and EPCs.
