One gas meter

Hi guys I’m looking at buying a quad with only 1 gas meter. It has a boiler system so I don’t think it’s worth it to purchase 3 more to have them separately metered. Does anyone have any advice with dealing with this type of situation. Any help would be much appreciated.

     What our clients generally do is take the average gas billing for the year while occupied. give themselves a little wiggle room,  and build it into the rent as a flat rate, similar to water or electric with a single entrance.  Not the best scenario but installing new systems can mount cost quickly.
